You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When right-clicking on Gtk text areas (such as an editable text area or
a text entry field), a context menu does not appear.  The pop-up context
menu typically lists options such as copy, paste, etc.

EXAMPLES

Examples of applications that are impacted include:
1. Gedit Text Area
2. Nautlus (editable address bar)
3. Google Chrome URL bar
4. GtkHash (text entry fields)

Interestingly the text areas of some other applications do show pop-up context 
menu when right-clicked:
1. Libre Office Writer
2. Web pages in Google Chrome that require text entry (such as this web page)

RECREATING ISSUE

I do not have a consistent way to recreate this issue (yet). When I
first log in, the right-click context menus work fine.  After some time
of usage, the right-click context menus no longer appear.  If I use the
computer long enough (over an hour) without rebooting, this issue always
appears.

This issue seems to only affect widgets that require text entry.
However, there is one exception I have noticed: the tabs in Google
Chrome stop showing pop-up context menus at the same time as this issues
manifests itself for the rest of gnome-shell applications with text
areas.


OTHER CONTEXT MENUS

Context menus for other widgets do appear upon right-click, as expected,
and work fine.  For example, the context menu for window title bars
appear when right-clicking on them.  The context menu for folders and
files in Nautilus also appear when right-clicking on them.
