When I click the right mouse button (anywhere, be it - desktop, browser, console, etc.), the right-click context menu pops up so quickly that the very *first* option in the menu gets clicked. This happens too often to take it easy.

This issue has been brought up a couple of times on Ask Ubuntu, but with no fix whatsoever. This is a very low priority issue for the Ubuntu team, I believe? (How could they?!)

Is there at least a workaround for the issue? Ubuntu is almost unusable for me as it is now.

PS: I have a new mouse. So, please don't go about suggesting that I get a new one - - everything's working fine on Windows 7, so should be the case with ubuntu 11.10, which it is not.

Facing the same problem after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04. Workaround it not to release the right click button immediately -release on the menu item of our choice.

Maybe the changing the mouse settings could work for you. In the Dash, search for "Mouse and Touchpad" Once its opened, you can change the settings to see if it solves the problem.

Looks like one of the later updates to Ubuntu 12.04 fixed this problem (or it fixed itself magically, which I doubt happened). The problem also no longer persists in 12.10 for me.
