* TITLE/SUMMARY
[PP] Mac - Context menu invocation misinterpreted as a selection
* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0) Launch Apprunner
1) View a web page, e.g, http://www.mozillazine.org
2) Single-click on a word, and really quickly do the next step.
3) Hold the control key down, and click again on the same word.
* RESULT
- What happened
A contextual menu appears *and* the word in question becomes selected.
- What was expected
I believe that Control key-modified clicks should be ignored by selection.
* REGRESSION
- Occurs On
Mac OS Apprunner (2000011208 Mac OS build)
- Doesn't Occur On
any other platforms
* CONFIGURATIONS TESTED
- [Mac] Beige Power Mac G3 (266 MHz PowerPC 750), 96 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM
used), 1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.6
- [Win32] Vectra VL (233 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP5.
- [Linux] Vectra VL (266 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM. Red Hat Linux 6.0 (GNOME).

i might not be understanding this one properly, but afaik,
1. click+control key is currently the only way to bring up the context menu on
mac (see bug 18726).
2. even if a word is selected, shouldn't you should still be able to bring up a
context menu (eg, to copy the selection)?
in other words, why should control+clicks (on mac) be ignored in the first
place?

...if the user is holding the control key down when clicking, they're trying to
invoke a contextual menu --- not select text.
(if you haven't already, follow the steps to reproduce in Mozilla & 4.x, and then
drop a line if it doesn't make immediate sense.)

I believe this is the same bug as #16170 (though this may be a better written bug
from QA perspective). The problem seen below is that selection is extended with
the control key rather than the command/meta key. Does anyone agree/disagree?
