This has happened to me three times now. I finally sent a signal and
got a core file. I was reading email with Gnus, in which Tm is
installed via `mime-setup', and tried to middle click on a URL in the
message body. I have a two button pad thing embedded on the
keyboard, and have it set up so I both-click to get middle click. I
fumbled, and got right-click instead, which popped up the menus.
It's a three item menu with a title and three submenus. Neither
clicking outside the popup menu nor on the title would lower the
menu. Clicking on a submenu would pop up the submenu, but nothing in
that submenu could be selected.
When I sent a SIGINT, with the top submenu open, it blonked, popped
down just the submenu, and printed an error message about wto,
character-p, the name of the menu item. (It's the same error I get
when I try to use keyboard shortcuts for menus. Did I report that
one yet? I cannot recall.)
I sent another SIGINT, and it dumped core.
I don't have any configurations in my init.el that would affect
this... I remove a few menu entries and add one, but to the global
menubar. I don't have the accelerators configured, nor have I
renamed the menus... due to the wto bug I just mentioned.
I have noticed before, since as long as I can remember, that some
popup menus pop down when I click outside of them, but others require
that I click their title. They all ought to work the same; when I
click outside of them, they ought to pop down. Otherwise, the WM
might raise the frame above the menu, which has grabbed and can no
longer take input. (One version of a Netscape Beta had that bug.)
