'wrong' and 'broken' are harsh terms. As I try to see it, I suspect there's a specific way of mapping (some) windows that causes these problems with a specific window manager. Had they (OOo? GTK? Xorg?) chosen a different way to handle these windows it would not impose problems, given the manyfold of applications that behave right. Have you tried to put the mouse on the File menu, click once (so it appears) and then move the mouse to Edit. On my configuration, the Edit menu appears only to disappear (mapped behind the window?) almost immedeately. Moving to View makes the View menu appear (which stays visible), then Insert appears/disappers, and so on. I get the same behaviour with Firefox menus. > The behavior I see: when I try to use the right mouse button to get > the context menu, no menu pops up, but I get the impression of a > very brief flash near the mouse cursor (it might be a window being > painted and then removed, but it's too quick to tell).
