I met with the same problem on my Ubuntu 13.04 laptop. I'd like to post a partial/possible solution here in case that someone want to try.
Here is the problem. Inside Google Chrome, sometimes when you right click (for only once) on a web page, it will behave like you double right clicked and as a result it navigate back. (`Back` is the first menu item on the context menu). When does the problem occur. It happens that the problem does not occur with Ubuntu 13.04's built-in themes: Ambiance, Highconstrast, Radiance. When I installed and activated third-party themes like Uncomplicated, Flatsutdio, Mediterraneanlight, etc the problem does occur. The possible cause of the problem. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591258 The solution. After hours search and research, I found why the built-in themes won't be affected. In these themes, a little padding is added to the top of menus. When you right click on the padding, it won't activate the first menu item. That's it. So we can add that to other theme by simply adding (or modifying) GtkMenu ::vertical-padding = 3 to <PathOfTheTheme>/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, under `style "default"` section. You could refer to /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. Hope it helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410636 Title: Right-click should not pre-light first option, too easy to accidentally select the first Context-menu option. Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: In Progress Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When I right click in nautilus, the context menu appear. If I right click on a menu item, the function of that menu item is performed. This is very annoying, because when the context menu appears, the mouse is at the first menu item, so if you accidentally right click two times, you will surely perform the function of the first menu item! Everytime I right click in desktop, i probably create a new Folder! I think there maybe 2 solutions to this: - To perform the function of a menu item, only left click is allowed. - When the user right click, the context menu will appear at a bit lower position, so the mouse will not be at the first menu item.
