[Bug 148381] Re: right-click menu closes and selects items when it can't fit below mouse pointer

[quequotion]

Having this problem in Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 on the gnome desktop under both
metacity and compiz with multiple (all?) versions and distributions of
firefox (abrowser, iceweasel, swiftfox and swiftweasel).

The location of the right-click does not matter.  On occasion, when
right-clicking on an object, the right click menu will blink out and
then something random will happen.  This is a problem when that object
happens to be a hypertext link.  The link could be opened in the current
window and tab, current window in a new tab, a new window, copied to the
clipboard, bookmarked, or saved as a file. Without intervention, the
right-click menu will continue to behave this way until the browser is
closed.

It is possible to intervene by clicking the left and right buttons,
individually, several times on a non-interactive part of  the screen (ie
uncovered background).  This will temporarily recover the right click
menu, but it's equivalent to smacking your TV to get better reception
and eventually the bug comes back.
