Comment 93 for bug 187313

I have the same observations as slasher-fun: for me the random selection bug (ie different from the one fixed in the RC1 package) occurs at random intervals, sometimes frequently and sometimes rarely. Sometimes it will happen two clicks in a row. I get it on two different computers, a laptop with an ATI card and a laptop with with an nvidia card. Compiz and metacity don't make any difference. The i386 and amd64 versions both show the problem. Both computers have a touchpad. Usually when I'm selecting the right click menu in firefox I'm not using the keyboard so I'm not anywhere near the touchpad.

Firefox 3 in Hardy is the first time I've ever noticed this bug. It never happened in Gutsy with FF2.

I also occasionally notice spurious key presses being generated, eg in a terminal or gedit, if the key repeat gets turned on - in other words, without me doing any typing, suddenly characters spew out over whatever I'm working on (again, this has only happened since Hardy). Could a random spurious key press generated just after the mouse click be causing the menu selections?
