Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 53926
context menus do not appear on right mouse click
Last modified: 2010-11-10 17:33:10 UTC
Since switching to OOo 2.0 beta, I cannot (more precisely: almost not) access any context menus that should appear when I right-click on something. This is reproduced as simple as: start swriter and right-click on the empty page. Nothing happens. Interestingly, if I type something that has a spelling mistake and right-click on that, then I get a spellcheck context menu. Also, if I move the mouse either up or left while I right click, I _do_ get the context menu. If I move the mouse towards the bottom right, then I do _not_ get the context menu. This does not work everywhere - in the "Styles and Formatting" dialog, for example, I cannot get the context menus at all, whether I move the mouse or not. OS: I am running Fedora Core 4 with all current updates. OOo versions - The problem persists in the current versions both from the Fedora repository (1.9.125-1.1.0.fc4) and OOo (1.9.125-1).
On windows I can not reproduce - Openoffice (HUN/PAVEL/WINXP/m126).
kde or gnome ?, can't reproduce under gnome
Sorry - forgot to mention. I experienced the issue with KDE. I just tried Gnome, and there the problem is gone, i.e., I can use context menus with no problems. Back to KDE, and the problem is back as described. (Installed KDE version is 3.4.2-0.fc4.1, which is the current version from the fedora repos).
It seems that this issue is identical to #54757. I was able to work around the problem by switching KDE's focus policy from "Focus strictly under mouse" to "Focus under mouse."

SBA->MCI: Thanks! SBA: issue 39420 is fixed, verified and closed. This should work fine since Build 680m142 (= fixed in OOo 2.01). Closed.
