context menu command goes to the wrong tab
21 answers - 485 bytes -
If I have several tabs in my browser window and if I right click in on
web page, I get the context menu. I choose "select all", but nothing
is selected. Then I find that the text in another tab has been
selected, so the command was sent to the wrong page.
I cannot find this in bugzilla.mozilla.org or maybe I have used the
wrong search keys.

Just searching for "Select All" as string gives me 137 bugs:

Some sound look like yours, but as you do not tell us program and
version you use that's impossible to tell for sure.

"Select all" was only an example. This bug happens with all context
menu command. For example, "copy" won't work.
But it happens only sometimes. I don't know what is necessary to repeat
the bug.

I'm using the latest firefox.

Things which "happen only sometime" suggest these notorious focus
problems Next time when you see this, try minimizing and restoring
FF window, and try again. Please report the results.

How were we supposed to know that? ;-)

There are three "latest" Firefoxes out there for S/2 (well, four
really). Next time, please quote the string shown in Help -About. But
I suspect that Ilya is right and it's another way that the focus problem
can appear, and unfortunately that is independent of the exact version.
Switching to another app and back should also work to restore the focus
correctly.

That isn't the 'focus problem' that I've seen. I don't know about the
minimise/maximise trick working (never tried it) but the only thing that works
for me is to use the menu to open a new tab at which point it correctly realises
which tab is active.

It definitely sounds like focus problem, that is what I thought upon
first reading, but I couldn't say whether is is directly related to
"the" focus problem that people have been having. I used to not be
affected but _very_ rarely by the focus problem but I seem to be hit now
at least once a day and sometimes more.

I think it is not the focus problem because keyboard input works ok.
Minimizing or switching to other apps or switching to oter tabs does
not help.

is selected. Then I find that the text in another tab has been
selected, so the command was sent to the wrong page.

After it happend again, I closed all tabs except one. The problems
persisted!
And guess what: after closing THUNDERBIRD(!), it went away!

The problem seems to come from thunderbird.
After closing thunderbird, it always disappears.

If the readme file doesn't have enough info for you, then you are
probably missing a lot of other information as well:

When I use Run!, I don't have sound in flash-videos. I guess a DLL is
not loaded then!?

After installing that new flash kit, the sound at youtube.com videos
seems to be lost
With video.google.com it works.

For working sound on YouTube one still needs the old npSWF32.dll r14,
unfortunately.
