Regression: System menu in IE8 in xP no longer works with alt/space

[briang1]

When trying to access the system menu in IE 8 in Windows XP it can only be accessed by Object navigation and o launched with mouse clicks. Using alt/space simply results in no apparent action.

Testing the snaps I have to find out when this went wrong shows that [main,4592] works and...
main,4603 does not work. Though there is no obvious smoking gun in that gap.

The log of the non working versions looks like..

This damned problem again. I am seriously sick of this XP IE 8 system menu. :(

Regression probably caused by changeset:main,4628. Not sure why you're seeing this in 4603, but I can't see any reason it should occur there.

In any case, it's fixed for me by changeset:main,4736.

I was alerted to this by someone who did not want to do a ticket. He too noticed it in the same snap, I went back to 92 and it was OK but not in 603, soI don't know. I'll test it later on and report.
It is an odd one.

[briang1]

Yes its working again. The usual delay of course.

Thanks
