Bug#503360: iceape-browser: composer sometimes produces a flickering menu, when rightclick is applied

[Mark Hobley]

Package: iceape-browser
Version: 1.1.12-1
Severity: normal


When using Mozilla Composer, by applying a rightclick event to a link or 
selected text within a composed page, sometimes this produces a 
flickering menu. This looks like the menu is popping up and down 
rapidly, and the menuitem under the mouse cursor keeps changing, which 
besides the menu being barely readable, it is not always possible to 
determine which menuitem will be selected when the click event is 
applied.

This problem is intermittent, so I do not know the exact details of when 
this occurs, however it appears to be something to do with the position 
of the link on the screen, by scrolling the page up or down, this 
problem can sometimes be alleviated, however, if mozilla composer is 
being run in a window that fills the screen (which it normally is), and 
the link being edited is at the bottom of the document, it is not 
possible to scroll down to alleviate this problem, and the problem 
remains.

My screen runs at a resolution of 800x600 (SVGA), if that matters, for 
the purpose of replicating this problem.
