Synopsis: Drop down menu on toolbar fails the first time

Description
Following an email on the mailing list about the array button on toolbar not working, I've tried to reproduce it on Linux and found the following. The first time you click on the down array, the menu with the `Customize' entry appears briefly and disappear quickly. The second time it stays as expected.

However, it might be hard to reproduce because after being able to reproduce 5 times, I cannot do it anymore.

Here is a few things I've tried that made the problem reappear. Click in the editor (mine was an empty tab), click on the features tree, click on the editor, right click on the toolbar and select Customize address bar, then click on the arrow and the menu appears and disappears.

Most likely there is a focus action being called that tells the menu to be hidden.

Larry can you look into that?

Thanks,
Manu

Hi, Manu,

Yes, I think this is a focus issue too. In my Ubuntu (Eiffel Studio  6.6.8.3355), the bug did appears about 3 times... most of time it works.

I followed your reproduce steps, I only successfully reproduced it one time. (In your reproduce steps, after you selected "customize address bar", before clicking the drop down button in tool bar. I guess you pressed Esc key to close the tool bar customize dialog)

If there were reproduce steps can reproduce the bug most of time, that would be great...
