Clicking menu ignored -- sometimes, VW7.7 ...

Yes, I've seen this happen on X11. I'll see if we can get this looked at before the next release ships.
The tricky bit is that we don't know how to reproduce this reliably yet.

I'm not sure, but the description doesn't quite fit what I'm seeing. In my case there are no right-clicks involved. I saw it trying to click items on menu bar menus. Sometimes it just won't accept the click on the item, I have to go off, let the menu close and reopen it again. But it only happens sometimes, I can't reproduce it at will. The fix above went into the builds only recently, I don't know if I've seen this happen since then.

You are correct -- that's what I get for posting just after getting up
in the morning.
Its normal (left) click that is the problem !

OK, here's a bit more on what I'm seeing. I can make it happen if I keep invoking a menu bar item in the browser long enough. This is even in the latest build, so the resolution definitely doesn't fix it. In my case I kept clicking Browser>Refresh in the RB over and over again. It seems that I have to do it with clicks, not click and hold/drag style. I.e. click on the Browser label in the menu bar then click on a menu item on the menu that opens. The weird thing is that when I get the menu that doesn't respond, it still does react visually, i.e. the item that I click on it does highlight as clicked, it just doesn't do anything. Once in that state the menu won't accept any item, you just have to close it and open it again. Another syndrome that I notice is that normally when you click-open the menu the first item gets selected immediately. In the case when I get menu that doesn't act, there is no initial selection. That's all I have so far. I'll make an AR shortly.
