974974 - New Firefox menu buttons do not trigger command events

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[tinklern]

Attachment: menubar2.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1700.107 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

In an extension, attach an event listener to a window and listen for command events:
1: window.addEventListener("command", function(e){Application.console.log(e.type);}, true);
2: Use the new default firefox button to print (see attached image "menubar")
3: toggle the old menubar and use the print option there
4: Use the submenu print option in the new menu


Actual results:

In step 2 no command event is triggered at all
In step 3 the command is properly triggered (event.type:command event.target.id:cmd_print)
In step 4 the command is properly triggered (event.type:command event.target.id:cmd_print)


Expected results:

All print buttons should have triggered the command event. 

See attached image for additional clarification on which buttons do and do not trigger the event.

Further, this behavior does not seem limited to print.  The new menu does not appear to trigger ANY command events for top level items.
