Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
This is expected behaviour across (most?) Windows applications. Nothing is broken. So this would be an enhancement. In the future, can you not blabber on like in everything but the first sentence of your bug report? Read http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html . It'd be greatly appreciated. ->enhancement ->XP Toolkit/Widgets: Menus ->cc: me and changing title
