95916 - Opening context menu for an <outliner> item should select the item

Status: NEW

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Build: 2001081704, Mac OS 9.1

To reproduce:
1.  Control+click (or right-click) on any item in an <outliner> (e.g. an item
    in the folder pane or thread pane in mail/news), other than an item which
    is already selected.

What should happen:
*   The previous selection is cleared.
*   The item you clicked on is selected.
*   The context menu opens.

What actually happens:
*   The previous selection is retained.
*   The item you clicked on is not selected.
*   The context menu opens.

I seem to recall the equivalent bug for <tree>s being fixed a year or so ago.

When this bug is fixed, make sure the (correct) behavior is not regressed that 
opening the context menu over one of multiple selected items should leave all 
those items selected.

WFM on Win98.  Mac-only?

Yes, this is Mac only, I just checked on Mac OS X.

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

This bug hasen't been touched for years and is clearly unowned. Moving back to default assignee/QA so that people, who are watching those can accurately triage this bug.

Also resetting Priority, Target Milestone, Status Whiteboard and Status.
