This bug is regressed in FF 4.0.1 on Xubuntu 11.04. (It was also regressed in the FF packaged for Xubuntu 10.10.) Steps to reproduce are identical to comment #103 from 2008. If an image is a link and is near the right side of the screen, its context menu will be drawn under the cursor, 100% reproducible. If the right mouse button is quickly clicked and released, the user will never see the menu drawn, and it will appear that a "random" item has been selected.

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item
I would suggest spending some time with the mouse preferences (System > Preferences > Mouse) to fine tune it to the way _you_ use the mouse. With the mouse parameters tuned nicely the behavior becomes very reliable and predictable even on hardware as disparate as generic Intel with MS mouse vs HP hppa with generic mouse.

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item
You can't really say this is the behaviour of menus "in Linux" because there are many desktop environments you can use in Linux, which may have many different behaviours regarding menus. Vanilla Ubuntu uses GNOME, where a context menu appears when you press the mouse button. If you then release it, it remains, and you can make a selection by another click. If you hold it down, you can move the cursor over an item and then release to make a selection. A quick test shows that there's a delay for activation of this "release to select" behaviour, so this perceived "randomness" only happens if the click is _very_ slow and ends up being interpreted as a hold instead of a click. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item
I'm not going to read all 275 replies, because that'd take hours. There was a bug in Firefox which caused Firefox to pick a random action when doing a secundary click. This bug is now finally fixed, but even after this bug has been fixed I still experience problems when doing a secundairy click. Why do we have problems with secundairy clicks? 1) Because of a bug in Firefox that chooses a random item from the context menu (this bug has been fixed); 2) Because in Linux a context menu is shown when PRESSING the secundairy mouse button, instead of when RELEASING the secundairy mouse button. When the cursor has moved in the time between pressing the mouse button and releasing the mouse button, you trigger an action of the context menu when releasing the mouse button. So you press the mouse button, the context menu shows, you accidentally move the cursor a little bit, you release the mouse button and when the mouse is at the first menu item of the context menu when releasing the mouse, the first menu item is activated. In other operating system releasing the mouse button will show the context menu. The way to solve this bug forever is to change the above mentioned behavior so the context menu shows when releasing the mouse button, instead of when pressing the mouse buttion. The random actions of Firefox have disappeared since Firefox 3.0.11, but I still have problems with secundairy clicks. When doing a secundairy click on links in Firefox, I still open links in a new windows, instead of a new tab, because I moved my mouse a little bit. Every application is affected by this bug (although developers say it isn't a bug, but it's a feature, just like the crappy copy/paste functionallity in Linux). Doing a secundairy click in some white space in Nautilus often leads to the creation of new directories. Please, change this behavior to show the context menu when the mouse button is released or at least give us the option to change this behavior. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Philby, the fact that the fix is considered for the stable (security- only) ffox 3.0 branch means that its not considered "low" priority. The importance here on launchpad or bugzilla does not really mean much. To explain why this fix didn't end up being in 3.0.10 3.0.9 caused a regression that required us to run a firedrill release out of schedule (called 3.0.10); in order to allow a swift release of firefox 3.0.10 all fixes not directly required to address the regression were moved to the next regular release: 3.0.11 - including this fix. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Guys, this doesn't affect just Ubuntu, it happens on Windows machines also. As annoying as this bug is, it is just that... annoying. It is not damaging to the system, and the workaround of holing the mouse button down until the menu appears instead of pressing it quickly is hardly a show-stopper.

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item
After updating to FF 3.0.10, I can't install mouse gestures. the plug-in seems to be installed but when trying to configure it ask to restart FF, if i restart FF, it ask it again and again when i try to configure, so it is never properly installed because it seems to assume that FF has not been restarted. The random behaviour does not disappear at all because the plugin is not installed properly. Already tried purging and reinstalling FF. So mouse gestures is not a workaround any more. This bug is really annoying and the reaction that the community has showed against it is very poor, more than 1 year and no solution, despite there are already the way of getting a patch or something like that. We are waiting until the official FF release fix this bug. Three releases of ubuntu involved with this annoying bug in the default browser. I really hope that the community reacts faster in the future just because this is not gonna be the last time we have a bug like this. I believe the main reason people turn to use Ubuntu is because of the usability and the updated software, so the community also should react faster to bugs like this and provide a patch for ubuntu or something and not only wait until the solution is included in the code of an official release. Ill wait to 3.0.11 (hoping that the fix not be put back again) and downgrade to 3.0.9 if it is possible, but I'm really disappointed with this kind of bureaucracy. It makes me remember the release of debian etch that was put back over and over again, I hope Ubuntu is not going in that direction. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Artem: Please read at least the final few comments before posting on a bug If you had, you'd see that this bug already has a patch that is targeted to be in a release very soon. (As mentioned multiple times above, "me too" comments are un-helpful at this point, and they only serve to make this bug longer and harder to read.) To make this comment slightly more useful, I'll add a relevant update -- Firefox 3.0.10 has actually been converted into a quick security release[1] with only ~2 patches. So the fix for this bug here won't actually arrive until Firefox 3.0.11 (which nonetheless should still be out soon).

I've been annoyed by the right click problem for a while now but have recently noticed what I believe is the same thing happening on left clicks with noscript. I have noscript installed and often I need to enable a particular script on a page. Left clicking on the small noscript icon in the status bar often selects a random item from the popup menu. I have only ever noticed this left click problem with the noscript status bar icon never on the menu bar. It is not very reproducible but seems to happen more when the browser is doing a bit of work. The right click problem is more noticeable but this may also be a symptom of the same problem.

I can confirm that the repro steps posted by gw0 work for me here on 8.10 / i386 with Firefox 3.0.7. In case it's not obvious, a scenario where this would happen in reality is when you right click and then discard the menu by left-clicking outside of it. The next time you right-click on something, it will trigger the repro steps if the new thing you clicked on is within the area where the "ghost" menu was. This would frequently happen when you attempt to right click on a link in order to open it in a new tab, but miss it at first, and try again. Especially on cluttered pages with small fonts, this could happen easily, as well as if your motoric skills with the mouse are not stellar (which is likely to be the case especially for new users, who ought to be specially shielded from erratic and confusing behavior). -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks Dave -- that actually sounds exactly like
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406646 (one version of this
bug), whose fix was checked in to trunk yesterday, and it's just waiting
on approval before it can be checked into the stable branches (Firefox
3.1 & Firefox 3.0).
If you'd like to test out the fix, you can either
(a) try the latest Firefox trunk ("Minefield") build
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item
I have the same problem as reported by Daniel with regard to the bookmarks menu. But this is definately NOT a moving the mouse isssue. How can I be so certain I use a Track ball if I take my thumb off the ball, the mouse pointer doesn't moove! So I will hover over the menu item, left click to open it (to go to a specified bookmark), and I will be offered to save the page as a bookmark! This even happens when I have opened a new tab, so the page is empty. This only seems to happen the first time I click on the menu item, I am trying to open instances of firefox from the terminal with the < -jconsole > switch to get any debug info, but since I've been doing this it doesn't happen - is it an issue with having allready used the mouse click on a prrior occassion (as in my case) or already having another dialog box opened?

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item
Having a quick read through these posts, this bug reminds me of an ongoing bug where left and right mouse buttons cease working for (some) people after a period of time - and this other one has been around for quite a while now and it seems it is very difficult to pinpoint the source of the problem. I am beginning to wonder if there is an underlying issue with basic mouse event processing that is manifesting itself in these other (seemingly unrelated) bug reports? -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I doubt it -- there's no reason that this should already be fixed in Ubuntu 9.0.4. if you can't reproduce it there, I'm guessing that's just due to the inherently low reproducibility of this bug on many machines.

(no other program I use, eg Gimp, is such a bottleneck) FF seems to overuse (probably fragment) virtual memory over time. When that happens, thrashing starts. Thrashing is page swapping preventing normal use of the CPU. It can last from a few to sometimes 15 seconds or even more. If Firefox is stopped/restarted, it runs fast for some more time. (I mean restarting the same pages, of course) In contrast, I used a 512 MB 850 MHz WITHOUT SWAP for some time. Even Firefox would run very decently in that config. Which, of course, is thrashing-free. When thrashing occurs, the mouse movements are jerky. Mouse management seems to be slowed down. So, if you want to make yourself a slow system...

It may be related or it may not, but it's worth noticing, might be easier to reproduce and might shed some light. On a loaded system again, I clicked to close the right one of the many tabs of a FF window. The tab didn't close fast enough and, I know that I shouldn't, I clicked a second time. Two tabs closed. Hence, an action was taken on an object that wasn't yet visible at the place I clicked. This is contrary to instinctive expectation.

Thats not the root cause. Its just that the problem is triggered by mouse down click, but in general it shouldnt make a different whether thats mouse down or up or click. Its probably just easier to reproduce with one of those methods than the other. The root cause as of now seems to be the asynchronous creation of menu popup frames in the gecko engine. Somehow the click event gets redirected to a not yet created frameset which seem to trigger a click on a random menu entry because the menu items are not yet properly mapped to screen. - Alexander -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've made an extension for testing. Its main goal is to dump a message to the console about "ghost commands".

Please note that this is really only a "hack around"!

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item
1.) The Mouse Gestures extension only changes the context menu behaviour from mousedown to mouseup for context menus inside the "content" where Mouse Gestures is working. In all other places the menu will be shown on mousedown! (Like the context menu for tabs or toolbars) 2.) I don't think the problem is related to Accessibility. At least on my system. 3.) With Fx3/Gecko 1.9 a lot of changes to the popup code where introduced. After some investigation with eventListeners (added by an extension) I have found one (big?) problem: -Sometimes mouseup events are fired to the popup although the popup is not visible yet. (the popup.state is "showing" not "open") -this mouseup will call the command of the menuitem it happened over and close the popup (I think positioning and showing the popup is VERY slow) For me the "ghost commands" where 100% reproducible when a mouseup was fired to the popup while its state was "showing" (about to become visible) The problem happens more often if the popup has to be moved to the top of the cursor. (More calculations?) And I can reproduce it quite reliable if the window the popup belongs to has to be brought to the front first.

I really don't know, but it's the behavior that I have. For example, a few minutes ago, I've clicked right on a Firefox's tab and there was 5 bad right-click in a row (Mouse Gestures extension enabled). > Do you sometimes click-a-di-click (multiple clicks)? No. It's the same bad-right-click than without Mouse Gestures. However, I've remarked that with Mouse Gestures extension, the bad right-clicks are, so far, not random; it's the first value in the menu that is automatically chosen (for example, "New tab" for a right-click on a Firefox's tab). -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug is happing to me too. This is a fresh (Fully patched) install of 8.10 (The bug was there before I reinstalled 8.10). This happens when using a Mouse or the Trackpad on my Laptop. The "Accessibility" option is NOT activated and Mouse gestures are NOT installed.) I've noticed a slight pause, when right clicking on a link to open on a new tab or window, just before the right click starts to act up. When i notice the pause I usually solve it by 'Right clicking' on an empty area of the screen to get the "Back", "Forward" ...etc menu then 'left click' on another area to remove the menu. After that the Right click works fine for another 10 or 12 right click's on links. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 187313] Re: [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item
As many people have noted, the bug tends not to appear for a while. Then when it does, it is usually triggered several times in a row. A way I found to make sure the next click does NOT trigger the bug when such an accumulation appears, is to keep the right mouse button pressed for a second or two on my next click, then release it. That brings up the context menu pretty reliably. I also think the "accessibility" thing has been mistakely interpreted as a workaround. Even if this is not technically a Ubuntu bug but a Mozilla bug, it would be really cool if the Ubuntu bug squashers could fix this as apparently Mozilla hasn't for a LONG time! -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That's very strange. It has been agreed that the problem stems from the fact that the right-click event is taken on mouse down (instead of mouse up as usually) and that mouse up is treated as a possible left click of an albeit invisible context menu entry. Some criticized the same behavior on the desktop too (in Nautilus). If such sorts of inconsistent mouse up actions were banned, it would be things solved. If you watch right clicking with Mouse Gestures, you'll see exactly that. Keep mouse down as long as you want, the right-click will only be effective when you release the button. Where could a stray left click come from, then? Not denying what you say, but thinking it over which is the good way to approach the solution. Do you sometimes click-a-di-click (multiple clicks)? Shouldn't, should wait. In contrast with other systems, Linux always remembers clicks and that may be over 10 seconds of an overload later (just met a few doubtful exceptions in 2 years). -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For me, Mouse Gestures helps a lot to reduce the bug, but it's not a perfect workaround, because I still have few random popup-menu-items, even with this extension enabled. Example, I have occasionally 2 bad right-clicks in a row, but without Mouse Gestures, I have often until 12 bad right-clicks in a row. -- [MASTER] right click (with button release) might activate random popup-menu-item https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
