Jason (jce2@po.cwru.edu) pointed out that in the context menu for the thread
pane, the copy and move items are too close together.
(Take a look, they do get layed out closer than other items.)
his fix was to add an addition menu seperator
diff messenger.xul messenger.xul.old
197d196
< <menuseparator id="threadPaneContext-sep-move"/>
but that goes against the spec.

(sorry jason, that is an internal url, but basically adding a separator between
copy and move is not in the spec.)

it looks like the rdf generated menu items gets drawn differently then static
menu items, so this might affect other menus.

1) Why don't you post the spec somewhere where we can see it? (other then for commercial items, obviously) 2) The distance problem only seems to occur when two items with submenus are close together. I moved the "Move to" item to the top of the context menu (which I wanted to do anyways) and the distance between that and the item next to it is normal.

Jason, we have posted some specs, but there's effort attached to sanitizing
them, and sometimes there's higher priority work to do (like right before a beta :-)
The separator thing is interesting, but I don't think that's the UI we want. The
real bug sounds like an XPMenus issue, so I'm reassigning to trudelle.

recharacterized the bug...I've played around a bit with the chrome, and I've
discovered that ANY menu item that leads to a submenu has a smaller vertical
size then menu items without a sub-menu.
Summary: in the context menu for the thread pane, the copy and move items are too close together → Context menu items that have submenus have smaller vertical size then other menu items.

reassigning to pinkerton for triage. I'm not sure whether they are too close
together, or other items too far apart, but I don't think they should be
outdented.

this doesn't appear to be a problem anymore, with either classic or modern.
