libgtk-3-0:amd64 version 3.22.25-0ubuntu0.1

When right-clicking on Gtk text areas (such as an editable text area or a text entry field), a context menu does not appear. The pop-up context menu typically lists options such as copy, paste, etc.

EXAMPLES

Examples of applications that are impacted include:
1. Gedit Text Area
2. Nautlus (editable address bar)
3. Google Chrome URL bar
4. GtkHash (text entry fields)

Interestingly the text areas of some other applications do show pop-up context menu when right-clicked:
1. Libre Office Writer
2. Web pages in Google Chrome that require text entry (such as this web page)

RECREATING ISSUE

I do not have a consistent way to recreate this issue (yet). When I first log in, the right-click context menus work fine. After some time of usage, the right-click context menus no longer appear. If I use the computer long enough (over an hour) without rebooting, this issue always appears.

This issue seems to only affect widgets that require text entry. However, there is one exception I have noticed: the tabs in Google Chrome stop showing pop-up context menus at the same time as this issues manifests itself for the rest of gnome-shell applications with text areas.

OTHER CONTEXT MENUS

Context menus for other widgets do appear upon right-click, as expected, and work fine. For example, the context menu for window title bars appear when right-clicking on them. The context menu for folders and files in Nautilus also appear when right-clicking on them.
