[Bug 187313] Re: right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item

[sctrn]

(Hopefully my description is not too confusing...sorry...I try to
explain it as clearly and concisely as possible)

I experience something similar, but the behavior and the bug is as
follows.  By default the context menu when it is displayed, will "drop
down" (to use a Windows' term), to the right of the link (or area) you
have clicked in the browser.  However if the length of the drop down is
too long to be displayed as a "drop down", and there is sufficient space
to display it as a "drop up" then it will drop up instead, that is, it
will display to right of and above the link. (This, so far,  is correct
behavior). If horizontally the right click occurs in the middle of the
page, this is not a problem.  However, if the link is on the right side
of the page, then when the user up clicks  the right button (mouse right
button up event) during a "drop up" display , then the hot spot of the
mouse cursor will be over the bottom most selection of the context menu.
As a result , this selection in the context menu will execute and the
context menu will close.  (The correct behavior is that the context menu
should open, stay open,  and await the next mouse click.)

Thus in summary, if one has  a relatively long context menu and right
clicks  in the lower right part of the web page, then the last (or some
other lower) item in the context menu executes, rather than the context
menu getting displayed.

(Ubuntu Firefox 3.0 Beta 5).
