PM32572: RFT8201 : The Subitem seems to be selected, but the dropdown is not closed with FF

IBM Rational Functional Tester Version 8.2.0.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During playback with RFT, the subitem seems to be selected, but
  the dropdown is not closed immediately, which breaks existing
  scripts due to the next action being suppressed by having the
  dropdown opened. This happens for Firefox only, for IE the item
  is correctly selected and the dropdown dismissed (you can try IE
  by using 'Internet Explorer' in the attache script, just change
  startApp to IE)
  
  Step to reproduce :
  
  1) Use the attached test Script SelectionDismissWithFF.java
  2) Ensure FireFox is enabled correctly and browser test passes.
  3) Run the script, it opens up FF and you will see the reported
  issue.
  
  
  Expected: Once SubItem is selected from the drop down list, it
  should be minimized immediately.
  Actual: The subitem seems to be selected, but the dropdown is
  not closed immediately.
