New issue 16066 by buralex: Context menus are displayed but clicking any  
entry fails to work (sometime after reboot)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16066

Chrome Version       : Google Chrome 3.0.191.3
URLs (if applicable) : n/a
Other browsers tested: n/a


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Reboot computer (Windows XP SP3)
2. Start Chrome ... all context menus work
3. Wait some period of time and/or start some (as yet not isolated) set of
other programs.
4. Go back to Chrome and discover that now right-clicking to display ANY
context menu (ie. in Tab, in AddressBar, in Page) still displays the menu
but selecting any item (whether by clicking or down-arrow+Enter) has no  
effect.

What is the expected result?
Selecting context menu items should always perform the expected action.

What happens instead?
Nothing.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
I have 2 computers in a LAN. I haven't ever found this problem on the
lightly used Laptop machine (same OS) but it seems to occur at some point
after every reboot of my primary Desktop machine.

When I first encountered this problem (several DEV builds ago) I switched
back to beta channel (at that time identical to standard channel) and the
same version as currently available, uninstalled Chrome, reinstalled, set
myself to beta channel - verified that all context menus worked as
expected. I then changed back to DEV channel, got the then current DEV
version, closed Chrome and reopened it. IIRC all this was done w/o
rebooting. After doing that I went into Chrome and discovered I still had
the context menu problem. Sometime later I rebooted and discovered that
context menu items were working.

I assumed that somehow I had resolved whatever the problem was but then
later in that session discovered that again Context Menus were "broken" in
Chrome.

FWIW: I've never seen this behavior in any other application nor in any
browser. My primary browser in currently Firefox 3.5 but from time to time
I use IE8, Opera 10, and Safari.

Note: I'm currently using "--enable-extensions" but have discovered the
problem with it both present and removed.

Once the Context Menu problem manifests itself closing Chrome and
restarting Chrome does NOT clear it. (Nor as I just discovered with update
to 3.0.191.3 does installing a new version.

Things I haven't tried yet:
Reboot into safe mode - it would take too long since problem is never
present immediately after boot.

See if problem is temporarily cleared by logout - login as well as reboot.

See if forcibly terminating Explorer and all other possible running
programs somehow "clears" the problem.

This sounds like such a weird problem I can only hope that some other user
encounters the same thing possibly leading to isolating the real underlying
cause.
