thunar works fine for a while, but after some clicks on files or folders (not in background or desktop or any other place); the context menu that appear on right mouse click, disappear as soon as I release the button.If I keep the right mouse down and hover of a menu item and release the button the item gets executed.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Lucid Lynx. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

This could be the same as bug 127372

I'm running a freshly installed Xubuntu 11.04 and am encountering the same problem. However, there's a fix. Apparently it's a bug in the Aurora engine. Add the following to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to fix it:

style "default-style"
{
  GtkMenu::vertical-padding = 1 # Fix dissapearing right mouse menu in Thunar
}

class "GtkWidget" style "default-style"

I only encounter this problem when I use certain themes such as MurrinaCrystal (other Murrina ones as well).
