Upon more investigation I found out that this was caused by a specific extension I have enabled: Minimize On Start and Close 1.3.2
Disabling this extension solves the problem. I don't have this problem in Ubuntu 10.10 where I use an up-to-date version of Thunderbird from the Mozilla Team PPA. Probably something specific for Ubuntu 11.10 in combination with this extension causes this problem. ** Summary changed: - Not responding to some mouse click actions + Not showing context menus with extension Minimize On Start and Close ** Description changed: I did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10 and reuse my home partition. Now - Thunderbird doesn't respond to some mouse click actions. The following - mouse click actions no longer give the desired result: + Thunderbird doesn't show context menus when the extension "Minimize On + Start and Close" is enabled. The following mouse click actions no longer + give the desired result: - Right-clicking an email in the list of emails no longer shows a sub menu. Now I have to go to the menu bar and click on the "Message" menu item to get that menu. - Right-clicking the body of an email no longer shows the Message menu. - Right/Left-clicking the header items of an email (from, subject, to, cc, ...) no longer displays the corresponding menu's. - Right clicking folders in the left panel no longer shows menu's. - Some buttons in Thunderbird have a small down arrow on the right side of the button. Clicking this arrow should display a menu. Clicking this arrow no longer shows a menu. + + Disabling the extension solved the above issues. The above issues don't + happen in Ubuntu 10.10 (with an up-to-date Thunderbird).
