Build: 2001072008, Mac OS 9.1 To reproduce: 1. In Navigator, open the Page Info window. 2. From the menu bar, try to open a new Navigator window (`File' > `New' > `Navigator Window'), or switch to Composer (`Tasks' > `Composer'), or quit Mozilla (`File' > `Quit'), or any other enabled menu item. 3. Try the equivalent keyboard shortcuts: Command+N, Command+4, Command+Q, etc. What should happen: * They all work. What actually happens: * None of them work. See also bug 91749 and bug 75158.
also a problem on win32 and linux, when using keyboard shortcuts.

Looks similar to (possible dupe of?) bug 21296 - Can't use Mac menu bar when a modal dialog is up.
No, it's the opposite of that bug.

It's probably easier (and more forwards-compatible) to construct these menus by overlaying the menus for a browser window and subtracting/altering them, rather than constructing a menu bar from scratch.
Unfortunatly, it's not quite as easy as that. Sure, I can import the actuall menu structure, but all the js behund it that make it all work assume that they're working on a browser window. I'll have to build them myself.
well, ok. it's not quite as difficult as I thought, but there are still a few snags. Overall I'd say it's a hell of a lot of work just to support an OS with a broken menu system :P
Attached patch partial fix (deleted) — Splinter Review
this fixes most of it. Note that I cannot actually remove any item from the menu using this method, just disabled them. Also, some items are automagically generated, so they may prove more difficult to disable.

I can't reproduce this bug with a recent build. Is this fixed?
*** Bug 155057 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
no, this does not happen in windows, and no, it's not fixed. the partial patch up there is a pretty good start though.
David, here's how to test this bug. Focus a Page Info window, then make sure all of the following work: (1a) `File' > `Close' to close the Page Info window (1b) accel+W to do the same (2a) `View' > `Reload' to reload the page which info is being shown for, updating the info as necessary (2b) accel+R to do the same (3a) `Bookmarks' > `Add Bookmark...' to add a bookmark for the page which info is being shown for (3b) accel+D to do the same. If (2) and (3) make no sense to you, you're probably not using a Mac.
Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I saw that OS was set to All and could not reproduce it. I wasn't aware that this was a MacOS specific bug. According to comment 10, this happens in Windows, which I objected.

Is this mac-only or is it that the instructions in comment 14 are mac-only? is bug 171341 really a valid blocker? it's just a meta bug. if anything, this bug should block 171341. bug marked major severity with 3.5 year old unreviewed patch - doesn't make sense.
No longer blocks: 103711
Of comment 14, 1b should work on all platforms, and ideally 2b and 3b too (though they're RFE material). As sairuh noted in comment 1, the keyboard shortcuts part of the bug is a problem on all platforms. (Removed blocker.)
No longer depends on: 171341
