Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-05-21 09:46:00 UTC 
The bug has described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-themes/+bug/110655

"Binary package hint: gnome-themes

This is a bug in Firefox and Thunderbird that is reproducible only with two of the eight themes installed by default in Ubuntu 7.04. The two themes are Human and Glossy.

To reproduce (v1): In a maximized Firefox window, right click near the bottom right corner of the window. Instead of just bringing of up a context menu, it triggers the bottom menu item. In this case, the bottom item is 'Switch Page Direction' and the direction of the whole page switches. See bug #34582.

To reproduce (v2): If you have a Firefox extension installed that creates on icon on the status bar (in the bottom right), right clicking there will also trigger the bottom menu item. See bug #68230.

To reproduce (v3): In a maximized Thunderbird window, right clicking near the bottom right will cause your email message to be deleted. (The bottom menu item is 'Delete Message'). See bug #107819.

Once you can reproduce this using the Human or Glossy theme, try switching to a different theme (such as Clearlooks) to see that the bug is gone.

When right clicking near of the edge the menu is closed and the item activated, that happens with glossy not with clearlooks

This is bug in firefox/thunderbird. The difference between Clearlooks and Glossy is that Glossy does not have any border around the menu that cannot be clicked.

The problem is that you can right click, keep the mouse pressed, choose an item and release, or click twice. In this bug mozilla detects the mouse down, pops up the menu then gets a mouse up and selects the item. GTK+ handles everything fine.
