Context menus seem broken. They were working a few days ago. As an example, try this: run apprunner, select "Bookmarks | Manage Bookmarks". You'll get the bookmarks window. Click on a node to select it, then right-mouse click (or, on the Mac, ctrl-key+click) on it to bring up a context menu. It has crap in it.

Chris, is there any chance of getting this bug fixed for M9?

Robert, I suspect you are building the menu using "onclick" attributes instead of "onaction" attributes. I changed the syntax a week or two ago, and I probably missed your stuff, since it presumably is built in C++ or JS code rather than being specified in the XUL.

The problem seems to be in setting the "name" attribute, such as: menuItem.setAttribute("name", cmdName); Has that changed to something else?

Oh, and more importantly "name" became "value".

Yep, that fixes it. :^) Thanks, Chris. I'll take ownership of this bug back, to get it off of your radar. Chris (Hoffman), I'd like check-in permission to fix this for M9. The fix consists of two changes to strings in a JavaScript file. Pretty trivial.

ok, get a review and wait for mac bustage to clear tonight, or after the verfication builds are done on tuesday..

i can supply a review right now.

David, here is the diff: < menuItem.setAttribute("name", cmdName); < menuItem.setAttribute("onclick", "return doContextCmd('" + cmdResource.Value + "');"); --- > menuItem.setAttribute("value", cmdName); > menuItem.setAttribute("onaction", "return doContextCmd('" + cmdResource.Value + "');");

Looks good. This change is safe and trivial. I vote for checking it in when the Mac bustage gets cleared up. Does that sound good, Chris (H)?

do it!

Fixed checked in.

works perfectly on WinNT with 1999081308 builds was this an XP problem originally? I ask because they don't work on linux and the debug console has a lot to say when you try I'm blocked by bug 11832 from checking on mac unless you can tell me where else to do a context click that doesn't involve bookmarks or history. As a matter of fact, I'm going to REOPEN this until answered.

If context menus don't work on Linux, this bug needs to be pointed at the one working on implementing them. I think that's probably Chris Saari... so reassigning to him.

I still can't verify if this is fixed on Mac, marking PP linux for now though since they are working on WinNT.

Pavlov is the last man standing on linux context/popups... CC'ing him

this is a duplicate of another bug if we are saying they don't work on linux. this has been pushed off until we have XP context menus.

We know that context menus will not be fixed for M9 and this info is on the "most frequent bugs page". MOving to M10

Giving this to hyatt so he can close it when the popup rearchitecting is done

resolved as fixed

Yes, I see context menus in Linux working OK on M10 builds
