[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1731581] Re: Context menus do not appear for Gtk text areas upon right-click
The issue has since been fixed and is not present in gtk3, version 3.24. ** Changed in: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1731581 Title: Context menus do not appear for Gtk text areas upon right-click Status in GTK+: Expired Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When right-clicking on Gtk text areas (such as an editable text area or a text entry field), a context menu does not appear. The pop-up context menu typically lists options such as copy, paste, etc. EXAMPLES Examples of applications that are impacted include: 1. Gedit Text Area 2. Nautlus (editable address bar) 3. Google Chrome URL bar 4. GtkHash (text entry fields) Interestingly the text areas of some other applications do show pop-up context menu when right-clicked: 1. Libre Office Writer 2.

When I first log in, the right-click context menus work fine. After some time of usage, the right-click context menus no longer appear. If I use the computer long enough (over an hour) without rebooting, this issue always appears. This issue seems to only affect widgets that require text entry.

OTHER CONTEXT MENUS Context menus for other widgets do appear upon right-click, as expected, and work fine. For example, the context menu for window title bars appear when right-clicking on them.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.

If I use the computer long enough (over an hour) without rebooting, this issue always appears. This issue seems to only affect widgets that require text entry. However, there is one exception I have noticed: the tabs in Google Chrome stop showing pop-up context menus at the same time as this issues manifests itself for the rest of gnome-shell applications with text areas. OTHER CONTEXT MENUS Context menus for other widgets do appear upon right-click, as expected, and work fine. For example, the context menu for window title bars appear when right-clicking on them. The context menu for folders and files in Nautilus also appear when right-clicking on them.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1731581] Re: Context menus do not appear for Gtk text areas upon right-click
I just noticed a side-effect which may help in debugging this issue... The mouse cursor does not revert to a pointer after doing a right-click. NORMAL EXPECTED BEHAVIOR (a) Typically, if you are hovering over an editable text area, the mouse pointer is a vertical bar (cursor). when you move outside the text area, such as the window title-bar, the mouse pointer reverts to an arrow. (b) Also, when you right click in a text area, the mouse pointer changes to an arrow, so you can pick something in the pop-up context menu that appears. UNWANTED SIDE-EFFECT BEHAVIOR In this case, right-clicking does not change the cursor to an arrow; it stays as a vertical bar. After this, if you move the pointer outside the text area to the window title bar, the mouse pointer is still a cursor (vertical bar shape). Normal behavior should be as described in (a) above. This also happens for window resize pointers. The mouse pointer stays as a cursor every where in the window after right-clicking in the text area. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1731581 Title: Context menus do not appear for Gtk text areas upon right-click Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When right-clicking on Gtk text areas (such as an editable text area or a text entry field), a context menu does not appear. The pop-up context menu typically lists options such as copy, paste, etc. EXAMPLES Examples of applications that are impacted include: 1. Gedit Text Area 2. Nautlus (editable address bar) 3. Google Chrome URL bar 4. GtkHash (text entry fields) Interestingly the text areas of some other applications do show pop-up context menu when right-clicked: 1. Libre Office Writer 2. Web pages in Google Chrome that require text entry (such as this web page) RECREATING ISSUE I do not have a consistent way to recreate this issue (yet). When I first log in, the right-click context menus work fine. After some time of usage, the right-click context menus no longer appear. If I use the computer long enough (over an hour) without rebooting, this issue always appears. This issue seems to only affect widgets that require text entry. However, there is one exception I have noticed: the tabs in Google Chrome stop showing pop-up context menus at the same time as this issues manifests itself for the rest of gnome-shell applications with text areas.
