[Affected versions]:
- 62.0.2, 63.0b10, 64.0a1, 54.0, 32.0a1

[Affected platforms]:
- Win10x64, Ubuntu 16.04, MacOS 10.13

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Launch Firefox;
2. Navigate to any web-page with a resize-able text area (ex:) https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_textarea
3. Click on the corner to resize the area;
4. Right Click while moving the mouse;
5. Press the ESC key on the keyboard to cancel the menu;
6. Move the mouse, hovering over the resize-corner.

[Expected result]:
- nothing happens;
- after the menu is open the resize of the section should be canceled;

[Actual result]:
- resize of the section still happens 

[Regression range]:
- doesn't look like a regression, was able to reproduce on older versions as well;

[Additional notes]:
- this might be a dupe, was unable to find another bug with this;
- attached screen recording with the issue;
- in some cases was able to reproduce with left_click instead of step 5;
Thanks for the clear report. Having to click to restart the resizing doesn't seem awful to me. Is there a use case I'm not thinking of?

Summary: Text_area resize not fully canceled when opening menus → Esc dismisses context menu raised during element resize but resizing doesn't restart
Post our discussion on slack, updating the summary.

- indeed the click to restart would be something a user would expect;
- to reproduce, even with a mouse it's somewhat tricky.
