Bizarrely enough, this is Bug 445213.

Are you sure? I tried right clicking many times (more than 3) and the panel menu still didn't open

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2022-08-23 10:07:14 UTC

The manifestation may have changed but the trigger is the same, and the effect is the same.

I've just checked and this report is specific to the panel context menu. I can still right click system tray applets and task manager items because they don't have the "Add Widgets..." or "Enter Edit Mode". I can also right click everywhere else like normal.
