New installation of Ubuntu 18.10, very few customisations made and I find that the right-click menu on window title bars fails to appear. Context menus do appear on application windows soI know that the mouse is working correctly.
I previously saw this with GNOME Shell 3.29 and reported it in the Ubuntu forums: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2398652 but no-one else saw the issue so I went back to using 18.04 where this functionality works as expected.
The problem seems to be my dual monitor set-up.
I have a laptop with an external monitor set to act as the primary monitor. In that configuration the context menu fails to appear. If I set the monitors to "Mirror" then the context menu appears. When "Single" display is selected context menus also appear.
Conclusion: Window titlebar context menus fail to appear in "Join displays" dual monitor mode
