windowless plugin right-click pops up firefox menu

[Benjamin Otte (Company)]

reproduce like this:
1) install swfdec-mozilla from git (likely any other windowless plugin will also work, but for now swfdec git is the only one...)
2) open http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_colbert_report/index.jhtml (most other sites don't exhibit this problem)
3) right-click on the big Flash in the centre (likely a huge gray rectangle with a play button)

What happens in Ubuntu Firefox 3:
2 menus open, the one from swfdec and the one from Firefox

What happens in stock Firefox 3 downloaded from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ :
Only the swfdec-mozilla menu opens

I've asked the Mozilla developers, but they had no clue why this might happen. I myself don't have a clue either. So it either has to be custom Ubuntu patches or the build config that cause this. Any ideas on how to chase this?

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

need to confirm this.

i have no idea either. I doubt that its due to the xulrunner/firefox split we have in ubuntu. Build configuration sounds wierd too,

Do you have a screenshot of this situation?

Maybe you need to consume the event? Not sure why it wouldnt happen on
upstream builds though.

The plugin consumes the event properly. Karl Tomlinson from Mozilla and made sure of that. It's probably interesting to note that the Firefox menu pops up before the swfdec menu. Also, Epiphany suffers from a similar problem. Only that Epiphany pops up its menu and the swfdec menu never shows up.

But if you don't have an idea what could cause it, I'll try to chase it down in other bugtrackers.

should be fixed in 0.6~b1
