[Bug 741854] [NEW] drop down boxes suddenly vanishes

[Bob]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Ubuntu 10.10 with a fire fox 4.0 install today. Installed via: 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
When Firefox is running for a while the drop down boxes (file, edit, history etc.) do not work as they should. The new Bookmarks button and the Firefox tap area do the same thing. When one is clicked and I try to slide down to pick something the whole thing suddenly vanishes! This works just fine when the program is opened but over time the function is not there.
I also noticed that when typing this reply the spell checker marked a word to check. When I tried to choose the correct spelling the same thing happened. The drop down box vanished.
I renamed mozilla in my home folder to mozillaold and then opened Firefox 4 again.
It did not solve the problem. I just noticed that when typing this reply the spell checker marked a word to check. When I tried to choose the correct spelling the same thing happened. The drop down box vanished.
Possibly happens when the laptop is put to sleep with the powermanagement.
