Frankly it looks like an implementation issue. Who was the brainiack who decided not to activate the menu on click release, but rather on click depression and then have click release also drive an action. Who the hell is clicking and holding down the right mouse button while browsing? Reminder : I have opened Bug #238733 to discuss these right-click issues and I have been answered to shut up about it in launchpad. You might want to go to Bug #238733 and tell them that the report is by no means Invalid (at least no more than repeated mentions in this thread) and maybe request to take it out of that state. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238733 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 Alternatively, launchpad might be the right place to request that it's now high time to regress Ubuntu 8.04 to a stable Firefox 2 and to no longer ever dress an LTS release in a beta software (vox populi vox dei). More generally, I'd welcome a bug report platform where someone like a developer sometimes pops up to ask for pertinent details rather than a platform looking like a bowing crowd praying heaven for fixes to rain.

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item
I've noticed this behavior in FF3.0 - FF3.0.3 for months. When I right click on a link, sometimes I get the menu, but equally as often, I get a chance to create a bookmark, send an email, or am automatically sent to the link in a new tab. It is certainly frustrating. Glad to see I'm not the only one. The only other clue I have to offer is that sometimes when I'm very careful to click near the leftmost part of the link, and dead-center vertically, I usually get the right-click menu I am expecting. If I click somewhere near the middle or the right-hand side of the link, I seem to get more random results.

So who is working on fixing this? We have been complaining about this for months and the only update to the forum is oh it happens to me too.

I can confirm Aswarp's comment in comment #105. I have dom.event.contextmenu.enabled set to true (it seems to be on by default, as I also have never altered it), yet am still seeing the bug. This is sort of subjective, but it *seems* like I see it less often now than I used to. Possibly my fingers have just trained themselves to avoid the trigger, but I'm not certain.

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item
Summary of useful posts above: This problem arises from the way mouse button presses are handled: pressing down the right mouse button calls up the right-button-menu and then letting go of the right mouse button is interpreted as selecting whatever is underneath the mouse pointer. So if the right-button-menu is drawn under the mouse pointer, you will accidentally choose one of its options if you release the right mouse button immediately after you pressed it down. A simple way to get rid of this functionality in Firefox is to install the Mouse gestures add-on, even if you don't use the gestures, this add- on will make the right-mouse-button-menu only appear after you release the right mouse button.

My family and I notice this all of the time. 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.

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item
I've started holding down the button and choose menu items by releasing it to work around this. Actually, it's quite nice to do it that way. Still, I think it would be good if a delay was introduced before releasing the mouse button can choose menu items. Does firefox use Gtk menus or does it use it's own? The problem exists in a lot of other Gnome programs which also display the menu on mousedown. IMO it should be fixed in the menus themselves. As menus will popup in different directions depending on where on the screen you click you need time to look at the menu before selecting something. A short delay shouldn't have any bad side effects. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 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 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item
The problem seems to be that the popup menu is displayed on button-down, not button-up like on Windows. If the mouse is being moved just a little bit at the same time it might be over an item when the button is released. This could either be solved by changing the popup to appear on button release OR introducing a short delay before button releases can activate menu items. Using a delay has the advantage of still allowing single click use of the menu. (press to show, release to select) This might be a problem in other applications too - for example the Nautilus file manager shows context menus on mouse down. Instead of changing every Gnome application to show menus on mouse-up instead maybe a delay should be incorporated into the toolkit - mouse up in the first XXmS of a menu being shown is not counted as selection.

Hush, David, you'll be accused of making noise. That is a different bug and yet it has been discussed in here already. I have opened Bug #238733 about clicking logic. If that logic was like in Windows, these bugs wouldn't be bugs. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 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 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item
It seems that sometimes the context menu is drawn at a location such that one of the menu selections is underneath the cursor. Just a little, but that's all it takes. I can reproduce this easily by displaying a page of thumbnail results from Google Advanced image search (http://images.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en). Go full screen, change the zoom level and right-click on different thumbnails. Normally the context menu is drawn above, below, left, or right of the cursor so that the context menu is completely contained inside the screen draw area, and no part of the menu is directly underneath the cursor. But it's not hard to find one of the thumbnails for which the context menu is drawn just a few pixels too close to the cursor, so that one of the menu items is under the cursor. Release the mouse and you've activated that menu item. One you've found a thumbnail positioned just right, the problem is 100% reproducible. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 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 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item
@David Miller: are you using the RC1 version of firefox, or the beta 5? Doing what you suggest occasionally triggers the random bug for me in RC1, but I never see the menu actually being drawn. It seems that you _might_ be describing the separate bug only present in beta 5 where the menu is drawn over the cursor if you are near the right hand bottom of the screen. For me, this always used to choose the last item on the menu, not a random item. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 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 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item
I have the same observations as slasher-fun: for me the random selection bug (ie different from the one fixed in the RC1 package) occurs at random intervals, sometimes frequently and sometimes rarely. Sometimes it will happen two clicks in a row. I get it on two different computers, a laptop with an ATI card and a laptop with with an nvidia card. Compiz and metacity don't make any difference. The i386 and amd64 versions both show the problem. Both computers have a touchpad. Usually when I'm selecting the right click menu in firefox I'm not using the keyboard so I'm not anywhere near the touchpad. Firefox 3 in Hardy is the first time I've ever noticed this bug. It never happened in Gutsy with FF2. I also occasionally notice spurious key presses being generated, eg in a terminal or gedit, if the key repeat gets turned on - in other words, without me doing any typing, suddenly characters spew out over whatever I'm working on (again, this has only happened since Hardy). Could a random spurious key press generated just after the mouse click be causing the menu selections? -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 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 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item
In case this info helps, I actually did a clean install of Hardy 32bit two days ago on a Dell XPS 1530 because I was unable to get wine to link the 32 bit libs I needed in the amd64 version. The problem with FF happens with a brand spanking new user profile with no plugins. Normally I have just have the adblocker plus plugin (and the adobe nonfree flash plugin). After the clean install, I did the following: 1. I installed the nvidia driver with jockey-gtk, rebooted. 2. I ran: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk mysql-server mysql-query-browser mysql-admin thunderbird openssh-server vpnc samba compizconfig-settings- manager gqview libjpeg-progs vlc build-essential dmsetup linux-source unrar libusb-dev audacity avidemux dvdrip gparted xinetd nautilus- actions nautilus-share unison smartmontools powertop nvidia-settings atop filezilla wine libqt4-gui libqt4-core partimage 3. I installed truecrypt-5.1a, skype 2.0.0.68 with dpkg. 4. I also built a version of vmware-server (v1.05 at present) and wine (v rc3 patched from git at present) but the firefox bug was definitely observable before this.

RC1 will be soon in -updates. at that point only the random selection issue will be left until upstream has proper fix. - Alexander -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 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
