Having this problem in Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 on the gnome desktop under both metacity and compiz with multiple (all?) versions and distributions of firefox (abrowser, iceweasel, swiftfox and swiftweasel).
The location of the right-click does not matter. On occasion, when right-clicking on an object, the right click menu will blink out and then something random will happen. This is a problem when that object happens to be a hypertext link. The link could be opened in the current window and tab, current window in a new tab, a new window, copied to the clipboard, bookmarked, or saved as a file. Without intervention, the right-click menu will continue to behave this way until the browser is closed. It is possible to intervene by clicking the left and right buttons, individually, several times on a non-interactive part of the screen (ie uncovered background). This will temporarily recover the right click menu, but it's equivalent to smacking your TV to get better reception and eventually the bug comes back. -- right-click menu closes and selects items when it can't fit below mouse pointer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148381 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
