981850 - Australis main menu doesn't work with a mouse down/move/up sequence

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 971260

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Daniel Jackson]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140309004003

Steps to reproduce:

1. Press *and hold* mouse down on Australis main menu (brings menu up).
2. *While holding the button*, move over any menu item.
3. Now release the mouse button.



Actual results:

Nothing (the menu item is not chosen).


Expected results:

The menu item should have been chosen when the mouse button was released.

Every GUI menu on any operating system I've ever used works with this single mouse down/move/up sequence.  It's a pretty ancient method that dates back to the earliest GUIs! The menus in every previous version of Firefox worked like this, Chrome too, and probably any other GUI application you could name.

The new menu currently only seems to work with click-move-click (rather than the "one click" down-move-up described above).
