Bug#275667: openoffice.org: Strange (and erratic) behaviour of right-click on some setups
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.2-5
Severity: normal
I use Debian's packaging of openoffice.org on several machines, and, at least
on one of them, I have trouble getting right-click to do what it's intended,
but *only with openoffice !*
The most annoying point is using the database beamer. Right-click on the name
of a table or a query is the only way I'm aware of to launch certain
operations, such as renaming or editing the object or creating a new one.
On my problematic machine, such a right-click works erratically : sometimes,
it gets interpreted as a left click (i. e. a collapsible tree branch
(un-) collapses, an object is selected), sometimes nothing (visually
perceptible) happens, and, once in a blue moon, the context menu appears.
By trial and error, I learned that a left-right-click most often pops up
the context menu (that's what right-click is supposed to do).
What troubles me most is that OpenOffice is the *only* program where I found
this behaviour. On the very same machine, right-click deoes what it's
supposed to do with mozilla, Gnome, KDE, KDE apps, etc. ad nauseam...
That's why I file a bug against openoffice.org, while I concede it may be,
for example, an X window bug triggered only by OpenOffice. But after weeks
of various investigations, I give up ...
Sincerely yours,
Emmanuel Charpentier
