Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs It is so common that I put in the kde section, not the specific application. Examples: non-kde-apps -- menu key doesn't work /amule/ or does but in an akward way /gimp/ kde-apps: windows -- title bar, shows menu, but not the correct one konqueror -- main page, doesn't work; location box -- works kmail -- inbox -- works; mail preview -- doesn't work It is really strange, because right-click always works.
Unfortunately, filing it for "kde" doesn't help fixing the problem.
> filing it for "kde" doesn't help fixing the problem. This doesn't help either, does it? Is it kdelibs, kwin, kde-something-else? I am just a KDE user, I don't know the internals of KDE. Since context menu is global thing so it is apparently not a problem of a single application but KDE itself -- but I don't know which part. If I can help developers in any way, I will help, but please don't close the bug report because you want play cat&mouse.
You don't have to reopen to ask questions. Please file a bug report for each application that fails to process correctly.
Apparently it is rather a bug inside KDE -- and more probably in kdelibs. Maybe I just put here an explanation from private mail to Thiago: " Is it possible /optionally/ for KDE-app to ask KDE for higher-abstract layer of messages, something like report_context_menu_activation_instead_of_right_mouse_button ? I'm asking because lack of such function is indeed the source of such bugs -- RMB is handled correctly and menu-key not. With higher-level layer it wouldn't be possible -- RMB /if configured that way/ would be 100% equivalent to menu-key. "
Interestingly, I've found out that we *have* this functionality in kdelibs since 1999...
