Its nothing to do with clicking the left mouse button accidentally, not here anyway.
The behaviour in firefox for me is this. Right clicking a link can bring several different options, such opening new tabs, windows, (as well as some add-ons like ad-block), and also bringing up a new thunderbird compose mail with the link as the body of the email. Considering this is not in my right click menu its can't be my mouse going wrong. I have found that once it starts it will consistently do the same thing. Left click elsewhere on the page sometimes seems to get rid of it (though not consistently so not sure if this actually works at all). I note that I can right click a nautilus folder while this is happening and get normal behaviour there, and go back to firefox and find the strange behaviour still happens. None of the methods above for stopping it have worked for me and I have found no way to reproduce it as yet. System is P4, so not a 64bit problem, 512MB RAM Dell Inspiron 1100. Haven't got compiz installed, just gnome. -- right click (with button release) might activate 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
