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
