[Bug 187313] Confirmed In Swiftfox and Firefox 3.0b5 - Hardy 8.04 - Gnome and XFCE

[Jerdsy]

I can continuously reproduce this issue under both Firefox 3.0b5 and
Swiftfox 3.0b5.

I first saw this issue after an upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy (8.04)

I have seen it in both Ubuntu and Xubuntu sessions.

It happens very frequently when 20 or more Mozilla tabs and two or more
Mozilla windows are open.  (perhaps 10 tabs in each window)

Most frequently, a right mouse click will return random items from the
right mouse menu.  If add-ons have installed items to the right mouse
selection menu, it may activate one of those.  It is truly quite random.
Clicking and holding the right mouse button can sometimes prevent the
bug from occurring.

>From my experience, the right down-mouse shouldn't activate the context
menu.  Only the up action should display the menu.  This in and of
itself would seem to be a bug.

I have never seen this occur outside of a Mozilla application. In fact,
if I right click in Mozilla, the bug will occur, quickly using the right
mouse button to select something on the desktop will work perfectly,
once again right clicking in Mozilla will again display the bug.

In my experience, this Truly annoying bug is entirely exclusive to
Mozilla.
