This applies for the 'print' button (and all other toolbar buttons that have
expand buttons) in all modules of Mozilla. Right clicking on them does not
display the context menu, like it does when you right click in the 'back' or
'forward' button. The behaviour should be the same for all such buttons in mozilla.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on the 'print' button in Navigator (or in any other module)
Actual Results: No context menu for print button on right mouse click.
Expected Results: Right click should display the context menu, ie. act like the
user clicks in the expand button.

In fact, none of the buttons should have context menus.

Context Menu may be the wrong word. What I mean is that right clicking on
the 'Back' button displays the menu that you also will get when you click the
small arrow/triangle at the right side of the 'Back' button. Right clicking on
the 'Print' button does not display this menu.
This is also the case for the 'Get Msgs' button in the toolbar of the Mail
module and the 'Print' button in the toolbar of the editor.

resolving as invalid. This is not a defect, since Back/Fwd buttons do have
context menus, others don't.

Reopening this..

Correct, but the Print button _has_ a context menu.. and right click doesn't
work, while right click works with the back/fwd button

Peter why did you close this bug?!
Obviously, *all* buttons that have the the small triangle/arrow at the right
side of the button have context menus. But instead of left-clicking on the
little arrow, you can right click on the whole button to get the context menu
for the Back and Forward buttons. But not for the Print, Get Msgs and the other
buttons with context menus. This is neither consistent nor user friendly.
All buttons with a context menu (e.g. the small down arrow) should be
"right-clickable" to display the context menu, as well as being "left-clickable"
on the arrow itself.

The arrow in the button denotes an affordance for the button's menu, which is
*not* a context menu. Back/Fwd buttons just happen to also have a context menu
which has the same contents, but that doesn't mean that all such buttons have to
display the same menus in response to right-click. In fact, it is perfectly
normal for these menu/buttons to have no context menu, or even a context menu
which is completely different from the drop-down menu. We should not add one
merely to be like the back/fwd buttons, as this precludes future introduction of
a real context menu.
->invalid.
