[Bug 206295] Re: firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 187313 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 Still happening after all these years. /me sighs. I confirm this is still happening on Saucy. I've never had any *buntu in which it didn't happen. I suspect it is a mouse driver problem. Interesting that someone also had it on xp. I suspect that may be a red herring though. It is entirely possible that a xp or other windows has a similar problem and for a similar reason. I've only experienced this on *buntus. Not on pclinuxos. Not on Sabayon. Not on Salix. That could be coincidence, but I doubt it. It isn't just firefox. I just had it on Saucy trying to use the openbox menu. 3 times in a row. Twice it logged me out and the 3rd time it rebooted. This a very lightweight system. Lighter than Lubuntu, lighter than plain LXDE. I started with the 32 bit Saucy mini.iso and added xorg, openbox, lightdm, lightdm-gtk-greeter, lxterminal, lxtask, firefox, 1 lxpanel with a clock, 7 launchers (or whatever LX chaps call them), and a taskbar. I have the autostart (I forger which one, one of the ones associated with login at any rate) set NOT to start pcmanfm and draw a desktop. My desktop is merely a featureless gray, which I'll change to green when I get around to it. When I want to look at the ~/Desktop directory I do it with pcmanfm in detail view like I view any other directory. I tweaked appearnce by editing the theme files directly. In summary, it is about as light as a gui system can be. My cpu is an AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 245 Processor and Ihave 4 gigs of RAM. Nothing amazing but it certainly should be adequate. So, I suspect: 1 - There is a kind of quasi-randomness to this that makes it hard to track down and leads people into spurious conclusions. 2 - While it is more likely to occur when some system resource, probably cpu, is overstretched, it can still occur when load is quite low. Firefox is probably associated with this a lot because it is a bit of resource hog. 3 - This is probably a *buntu issue, or just possibly, a Debian issue. Although I ran LMDE a while and I don't recall haveing it there. The fellow who has it in xp probably experienced a different bug of the same nature. 3 - It is most likely a mouse driver issue. Even if it isn't, it might be easier to write a workaround into a mouse driver than to track the actual problem. Could be as simple as making a right click equivalent to right click and hold until a left click occurs. 4 - If there is a competition this has my vote for most annoying *buntu bug of all time. --- BTW, I'm not sure how this is going to post my name. If it seems a tad belligerent, it is because I was getting very frustrated trying to create a launchpad account, and it isn't directed at anyone here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206295 Title: firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/206295/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It only occures when i do a quickly short mouse-click. In my humble opinion, it seems like the menu is still unfolding and/or taking position at the moment I release the button. This behavior could be equal to pressing the right-mouse button, holding it down, hover the (un)wanted menu option and then releasing the button. This handling also be a temporary solution as it prevents this from happening, until a solution is offered. I think the solution should be a check whether the menu is fully shown before the right-mousebutton-release is taken as a click to select the menu option. -- firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It appears most often when using YouTube, and there's already a Flash video playing, but it happens at other times. Often it occurs when there's a heavy load in the browser, like when I have several YouTube pages open at the same time in tabs, and I go to right click and open a new tab and it pauses, followed by opening Evolution, a save-to window, or an Add to Bookmarks window instead of opening the new page in a new tab. It has been frustrating my family members since I upgraded to Firefox 3 in HH. I never saw this error in FF2. I recommend visiting YouTube and opening a few pages of videos in tabs by right clicking on them and opening in a new tab.

This is also happening on a Dell XPS 1530. It's not as frequent, possibly because it's a faster machine, but it is definitely happening. -- firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 206295] Re: firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options
I can reproduce it with Firefox with a brand new user. Current version info is: Ubuntu 8.04 (updated to RC1 as of 19th April) Firefox 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.2.2-3ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse 1:12.4.3-1ubuntu1 xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu10 The mouse I'm using is reported in dmesg as USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft USB Wireless Mouse] on usb-:00:1d.0-1, and the computer is a Dell Inspiron 8600. Any hints on how I might help to debug it? ** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 206295] Re: firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options
I can reproduce it 'reasonably' readily if I open lots of tabs (eg 20 or so) and then repeatedly try to save an image from one of them (right- click, 'v', escape to cancel). If the save window doesn't come up, it has selected another option (like block images or copy website); otherwise a different window might come up (eg the 'set up evolution' wizard). It might help to load the CPU by running something CPU- intensive at the same time. This is much faster than opening a page in a new tab because you can do this mouse/key combination in rapid succession. The BBC website is good for this because each page has an image. In normal usage it happens enough to be very annoying. It will execute a command like 'block images from this website' from the menu, which you then have to undo. It might do this two or three times in a row, and then go back to operating correctly. I do think though that it's an xorg keyboard problem rather than a Firefox problem because it has happened for me in Nautilus. I use the right click far less frequently in Nautilus, however, so I've only seen it twice. -- firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 206295] Re: firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options
Thanks for your report, that works fine for me with latest package on Hardy Heron. I'm closing this report but feel free to re open it if you have specific instructions on how to reproduce the problem and you can reproduce it with a new user and firefox profile created on your computer.

[Bug 206295] Re: firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options
Im having this bug too. It only seems to happen with firefox for me. This is becoming quite bothersome as I will often right click a link so I can open it in a new link. -- firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 206295] Re: firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options
It might not be an issue specific to Firefox, because it just happened in Nautilus - I right-clicked on a file (to choose the 'open with' option), and it just opened it straight away without showing the menu. This is with xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu7, xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.2.2-3ubuntu1, xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.2.3-2. -- firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 206295] Re: firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options
I have yet to experience this issue here but I rarely use the right- click. I will try using it more intensely and report back. -- firefox 3 right-click menu chooses random options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
