Can you reproduce this bug only clicking on the unity launcher or on the desktop too?
Does it happens in unity 2D too ?

As I mentioned in #954793, I had that problem and it went away when I turned off the shift switcher in ccsm. Maybe it will help here (that one is marked as a duplicate of this one).

I came here from the other bug also relating to right-clicking (on Unity to be precise in my case). I can also confirm that disabling the "shift switcher" in ccsm fixed the problem for me. Right-click functionality works, and there are fewer crashes.

Also in my case, disabling the shift switcher in ccsm, resolved the crashes.

For now I can see that compiz button bindings are probably at fault here (since the shift plugin by default sets a button binding to the Terminate action).

I see the "fix committed" but I don't see the change in any package yet; any idea when it might be available for an actual update? This bug is incredibly annoying. I had no idea how often I used right click.

The package with the fix included should be available soon. In the meantime you can work-around the problem by disabling the 'shift switcher' plugin using ccsm - or, if you need the shift plugin, just disable the Terminate switcher mouse shortcut in ccsm in the plugin's settings.
