 I've made a new user with complete 3.5.2 default settings
 and there it happens in fewer places, but it still happens in:
 * the sidebar of the navigation panel of Konqueror
 * the column headers of the message list in KMail
 * empty space of the Kicker Panel (move it to the top to see this)
 * the edit and filelist windows of Kate
 * the playlist of Kaffeine
 This doesn't suggest to me that it is a problem
 with sessions or profiles or settings, but a basic KDE problem.

I don't use Kmail or Kaffeine.  I don't see it with Kicker hidden/not.
I do see it where you describe in Kate  Konqueror-file-manager (all 3.5.1).
The effect seems to be that the 2nd R-click is closing an open menu,
which may well be a bug in the code: have you reported it to KDE bugs ?

 This happens in most KDE apps (Konqueror, KMail, Konversation, Kate),
 but does not happen in KWrite, nor on the desktop itself.

With KDE 3.5.1 , I find this only in Kate, which ordinarily I don't use;
it doesn't happen in Konqueror (Internet/file-mgr), Kwrite, Konsole, Kjots.
This suggests it may be some effect of sessions/profiles/settings.

 yepp, see the same - easy workaround: don't release the right
 mouse button.. as long as you are holding it, the menu will stay.

Sure.  But when rightclicking for example on the wrong message in 
the message list of KMail, I have to click again, and then this 
annoying stutter happens, which always made me think I had somehow 
misclicked.  Glad to see it's not merely a local problem.

[gentoo-user] every second rightclick in KDE: the context menu does not stay

2006-04-03 Thread Benno Schulenberg

Hi,

Does anyone else see this?  Upon rightclicking in most KDE apps, a 
context menu appears; but when moving the mouse a bit (away from 
the menu) and rightclicking again, the context menu appears just 
shortly: it blinks and stays away.

That is... except when rightclicking near the bottom or right edge.  
Then the menu stays put on every rightclick -- when the menu does 
not appear to the lower right of the mouse pointer, but to the left 
or above it, then it always stays put.

This happens in most KDE apps (Konqueror, KMail, Konversation, 
Kate, ...), but does not happen in KWrite, nor on the desktop 
itself.  (In KMail it happens in the message list and the preview 
pane, but not in the folder list or the composer window.)

Anyone else seeing this?  Just to make sure I'm not having a subtly 
broken system.

I'm not getting this at all :), but then just upgraded to 3.5.2. I recall 
something like this a while ago but its gone now. What version of kde are you 
running? 

If you change your theme does it make any difference?

The modern world is essentially non-religious. This may seem a strange
 statement given the rise of a militant Catholic church and militant
 Muslim, American Protestant, and Judaic groups. But if one examines
 the acts, as opposed to the rhetoric, of these movements, one finds
 their primary purpose is to reassert dominance over women and subordinate
 groups, e.g., Muslim socialists, American blacks, Israeli Arabs.

emm, I don't want to change my theme at the moment (it is dekorator+qtcurve), 
because I am not annoyed or really hit by this. I could get his behaviour, 
bit it does not bother me ;)
