Build ID: 199970614 (presumably the Aug-14-99 build) Platform: Red Hat Linux 6.0, Enlightenment, GNOME (couldn't repro on Win32) To reproduce: - Launch apprunner - Type Alt-E to drop down the Edit menu - Press and hold the down arrow key in hopes of selecting the Preferences menu Result: Visually, the menu item selected never gets further down than Wallet, jumps around in a circle, and winds up getting stuck on Cut (or some other menu item). I'm guessing this is a performance problem of some kind... Expected result: The menu selection should progress down the list to Preferences and then start over again from the top if the down arrow key is still depressed.
cc'ing akkana@netscape.com cpratt--does it work properly if you press the arrow keys multiple times (rather than with key repeat)?

Assignee: joki → saari
This shouldn't be a joki bug -- it's a menu/key handling bug. Sounds like saari.
