When I highlight a word on most websites and right-click it, I get a

for "word"! Frustrating.

How do I get the usual right-click menu?


I saw the same thing earlier this year.  I don't remember what Web site
it was, but the pull-down context menu was taller than my monitor
screen.  The problem went away when a terminated SeaMonkey and rebooted
my PC.

I'm not seeing this at <http://www.nytimes.com> right now.  I suspect
this might be the result of the Times using transparent images, scripts,
or other artifacts in an attempt to defeat copying.

That's odd, I'm not getting now, either. I haven't closed Seamonkey, or
done anything about the problem. I'll keep watching for a pattern, I guess.

Speaking of odd, I get a different menu from the one you described as normal:
• Copy
• Select all
• Search [default search engine] for "word"
• View Selection Source
• Properties

I don't get "Delete Message" or "Print." In fact, I can't get them by selecting an ordinary word, a linked word, or nothing.
