Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
When right clicking, the page will switch direction. Right click, towards the bottom of the screen will automatically select Switch Page Direction, but not all the time.
This is more of an interface issue than a bug, but since I get unexpected action, I will classify this as a bug.
Suggested solution.....add a non-reactionary blank area so the option is not taken if not paying attention to the dialogue but also keeps the right-click dialogue open until I explicitly click off to another area of the screen or explicitly select an option.

this is a known bug and has been fixed in firefox-3.0
affects ubuntu/firefox-3.0
status fixreleased
unfortunately a fix for firefox 2 is unlikely as its not an important
bug.
affects ubuntu/firefox
status wontfix
importance low
