>Description:
This is a forwarded bug report from a user who didn't want to report it themselves.

The problem is that when running firefox in twm (and, I'm told but
haven't tried, vtwm), the menus (e.g. File, but also in the firefox
toolbar) do not stay open when the cursor leaves the position where it
was when it opened them - which makes it impossible to use the menus,
because you can't click on the menu entries, since they disappear when
you move their way.

This works fine in i3 or ctwm, so it looks like a bug in twm.

I'm told it's also broken in wm/vtwm, but haven't tried that yet.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run firefox (133.0.3, but I'm told other versions are also affected) inside twm.

>Fix:
Please.
