From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801 BuildID: 2001080110 Hello, Please forgive my stupidity if I am not using the system correctly, as this is the first time I've reported a "bug." When a menu in the Mozilla browser is open, e.g. the File menu, clicking a link on the currently open page closes the menu, but does not go to the link. This action is counter intuitive, because when the cursor passes over the link, even with the menu open, it changes to the pointing hand. This cursor is used at other times to indicate the link may be clicked on, but, with the menu open, it does nothing. I propose one of two solutions: - Don't change the cursor to the hand as it passes over a link with a menu open. This would indicate to the user that clicking the link would not actually go there. OR... - Keep the hand, but instead of simply closing the menu, make clicking the link actually go there AND close the menu. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a menu in the mozilla browser, for instance, the file menu. 2. With the menu open, click a link on the page, any link. Actual Results: The menu is closed. Expected Results: The menu is closed, and the browser navigates to the link.
