Description Andrew Engelbrecht 2014-07-12 20:26:43 UTC 
in weston master (and 1.5.0), when clicking a menu title in iceweasel, a drop down menu appears. as the mouse moves up and down the menu, the item colors change.

when i click an option, nothing happens. i've tried clicking multiple menu titles and entries.

I see much the same in Fedora 21, with xorg-x11-server-Xwayland-1.15.99.904-4.fc21.x86_64 , the rest at 1.5.0. For me with Firefox, the entries don't even highlight as I mouse over them. As Andrew says, clicking them doesn't work.

Moving it to weston since firefox seems to work all right in GNOME on wayland.

This bug affects firefox and chromium as well. Here is a video illustrating the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/547phqk0qpuz9ag/weston.webm?dl=0

I use wayland, xwayland and weston 1.5.0 on archlinux.

Traced it in xwayland and found that in mutter-wayland the surface of menu received a press event and a release event from wl_pointer, while in weston, only the press event is observed.

Don't know if this difference matters.
Comment 5 chbrauner 2014-08-28 14:15:54 UTC 
Given the video I attached in my previous comment that could be what is happening, since it looks like the focus is never returned to the window. Is there an easy fix for this?

That's the point, weston at present will set input focus to the menu, which is an override redirect window. Actually that is wrong, and it causes this bug (but programs like firefox and so on are also strange enough to care that).

Yes. Patch posted at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-August/016984.html
