The Right Click Auto Selects an Option

[RickyM7]

System Details

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (Mint 22 XFCE)
• Thorium Version: 126.0.6478.231 (AVX2)

Problem
Basically the bug consists in the fact that when you do a right click to open the context menu, if your mouse pointer it's over some menu's option, this option will be triggered.

Did you read the FAQ?
Yes.

Additional Notes

• You can see more details about this bug here Linux: native context menu runs action under mouse when opened microsoft/vscode#113175
  It's a well-known bug on the vscode app as well.
• You can mitgate this bug by hold the right click while move the mouse pointer.

@Alex313031 Sorry for tagging you here, but to mitigate this problem would it be possible to make the mouse pointer always stay outside the clickable area like Firefox/Mercury? I believe that is the best possible approach for this.

Looks more like a problem upstream or caused by a problem in DE.

It could be, for sure, but i don't know. Btw I've tested Thorium ia a different distro and the it's the same. Tried the stock Chromium on both and it doesn't happend.

I confirm this annoying issue with Version "128.0.6613.189 (Official Build) stable, built on Ubuntu (AVX2) (64-bit)" on Opensuse and XFCE X11.
It seems only occurs at around middle of screen vertically, because else on right clicking the cursor is at menu corner that appears but on middle of screen it seems has some issue of menu positioning related to mouse pointer.
As a workaround I have to hold the click and release the menu item I want, but its not comfortable behaviour at all but I unable to foreseen all the time when it does it.
Maybe its something similar issue here: https://forum.zorin.com/t/horrible-right-click-and-right-click-menu-malfunction-for-chromium-browsers-and-zorin-17/41164

Tried on Firefox and it hasn't this issue even on right clicking on middle of screen. It has a more compact menu and pointer is at menu corner all the time when appears.

Yeah the issue start to occur in Thorium when there is no space left between mouse pointer and the bottom edge of screen to display the menu from that coordinate downwards, so the mouse pointer will be on the middle somewhere vertically and litllebit inwards too horizontally so in same time it activates the menu item automaticly which was there. If mouse pointer move below some threshold the menu start to appear in upwards direction from the pointer so it's working again normally.

Found some related info but only for Vivaldi. There is no compact mode settings in Thorium and couldn't find a way to hack it in some js file resource as in Vivaldi is possible it seems:
