I am experiencing a similar issue on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS with KDE 4.10
installed and Firefox 20.0a2 (2013-02-10) (Aurora). After a while,
right-click menus and those from extension will just draw a frame
briefly and then disappear. Toggling HW accel in both Firefox, and kwin

When will this fix be released ?
At least in 11.10, the bug is extremely prevalent.
I would estimate the probability of running into it as 60-70% 11.10, when e.g.
changing search engine in Firefox, or droping down a menu in the Bookmarks
Toolbar.

This right click problem happens frequently for us (several users). It might

types of Ubuntu, are NOT experiencing these kind of problems reg. right

For me, the bug appears at random (firefox 9, oneiric). Any menus only
stay open until I move the mouse; switching to another window and back

Currently, on my machine it's very deterministic, every time I use

Small clarification: every time I use CTRL+ALT+Cursor keys to switch

I seem to have stopped my Thunderbird menus from disappearing after

@Thane: This is potentially very helpful information, thanks!
I'm not entirely certain, but I think that selecting System -
Preferences - Appearance - Visual Effects - None disables Compiz
entirely, which, if so, would confirm that Compiz is implicated (which
we already suspected). However, if
I'm pretty sure that in 10.10 and earlier, this meant running Ubuntu

This is also seriously affecting 11.10 on unity3d.
Other workarounds I've noticed is un-maximising firefox and re-
maximising it. That seems to get things working for a while longer.

Hi,
[This comment is a bit long. For those in a hurry, perhaps just read
the important part set off below. :) ]
As with Dave Russell (comment #15), menus disappear for me constantly as
well, both in Firefox and in Thunderbird. I'd say 20+ times an hour
rather than 20+ per day.
Globalmenus
Interesting... I tend to use the unity sidebar to switch between
applications, or occasionally alt-tab rather than expo.
I do get the problems when Firefox is *not* maximised, but they happen
far more often when firefox *is* maximised.
I must admit I'd forgotten about this bug recently since I
I should also add I tend to ctrl+alt+arrowkey to switch between
workspaces because I run firefox on workspace1 and tbird on workspace2,
irc on workspace3 and then other random stuff on workspace4.
I used to run everything maximised, but because of this bug I'm
currently running nothing maximised.
Thanks Dave for your feedback -- I think the information is quite
helpful.
So, just to be clear: You DO have this problem when switching workspaces
with Ctrl-Alt-arrow (and hence never zooming out to Expo view)?
IOW, my present working hypothesis is that going into Expo view is
essential to
For what its worth, I have this bug with mainly Thunderbird and very
occasionally Firefox if I'm editing bookmarks. But I virtually never

@Thane: Thanks so much. This pretty much disconfirms my working

necessary to trigger the problem -- but disconfirmation is useful
information nonetheless.
