97372 - Click and hold contextual menu can load links

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Adam]

Mozilla 2001082705, Mac OS X 10.0.4 -

1) Place the cursor over a link
2) Click and hold until the contextual menu comes up
3) With the cursor still over the link (you should still be getting the finger
cursor), release the mouse

Actual results: The link is loaded on mouseup. Very annoying.
Expected results: The contextual menu should have focus and you should not be
able to do anything else until it is dismissed.

Confirm on 2001082805 MacOS 8.6. Should be Mac/All

focus?  ->saari, otherwise please reassign to hyatt.

Looks like the popup's capturing listener isn't cancelling the click and/or
mouseup event. ->hyatt to correct me if I'm wrong.

Please don't fix this until bug 115907 is fixed, as this bug is keeping me sane.

This is still a bug, but is less important now that bug 107433 made it possible to turn off click-and-hold contextual menus and bug 301758 turned it off by default.  (Except in Seamonkey.)  And click-and-hold doesn't work in Camino...

Still a problem in trunk builds but requires ui.click_hold_context_menus to be set to "true". Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20070618 Minefield/3.0a6pre

Still a problem in trunk builds but requires ui.click_hold_context_menus to
be set to "true".

Setting this pref to true no longer enables regular context menus on click-and-hold.
