I confirm that this irritating problem is happening reproduceably on this Tecra 8000 (400 MHz) laptop in the following typical situation. When launching (right-click|open in a new tab) a number of URLs, such as displayed by Google Search or News, the first one or two, maybe three, launches happen swiflty. Then, either the next right-clicks produce no context menu or, some time after some click, any entry of the context menu is executed -- any at apparent random -- although the context menu was not seen. At a later time, when loading pages has calmed down, right clicking resumes normal working. I'm unsure if the delays such as paging memory out of a crowded RAM while loading the page to be clicked itself has an effect. But I think so and the problem is certainly affected by load and/or delays. The effect of multiple right-clicking should be considered.
More tests on request. Please raise the severity. Please don't add an unstoppable "send this page ..." or the like to the context menu ;-) Using Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 6 and hence Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008021416 Firefox/3.0b3 -- right click on a link does strange things 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
