[Affected versions]:

  • Fx 72.0a1 (2019-10-31)
  • Fx 71.0b6
  • Fx 70.0.1

[Affected platforms]:

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 7

[Steps to reproduce]:

  1. Enter a search term in the Awesome bar
  2. Right-click on any of the one-off search engines
  3. While the context menu for the one-off search engine is opened attempt to resize the browser

[Expected result]:

  • The resizing sign appearance should follow its intended purpose.

[Actual result]:

  • The double arrow sign for resizing action appears, but it works like a normal click that dismiss the context menu.

[Regression range]:

  • Not a regression, reproducible way back to Fx 45.0a1.

[Additional notes]:

  • Not reproducible on Ubuntu (the resizing icon is not displayed at all, while the context menu is displayed) and macOS ( the resizing icon is displayed while the context menu is displayed, but the browser can be successfully resized).
  • Reproducible also from the Search bar dropdown.

This feels like a platform widget type issue - the extra popup being closed somehow stopping the resize happening. Though it could just be an issue with how windows works. I can't reproduce elsewhere, but that might be down to the different types of widgets we're using.
