context menu opens at wrong/last position

[jeweloper]

In some applications the context menu (right mouse click) opens at the position it was opened before and not at the current mouse position.

reproduce:

1. open/run for example gnome-terminal
2. open context menu (right mouse click) at any position
3. move the cursor to another position
4. open context menu at the new position again

expected behaviour:
The context menu opens at the new cursor position.

current behaviour:
The context menu opens at the position where it opened the first time (in relation to the current gnome-terminal instance).
This problem exists since the update from gtk+ v3.20.2 to v3.20.3.

Applications I could reproduce the problem:

• gnome-terminal
• firefox
• nemo

Applications I could not reproduce the problem:

• gedit
• gnome-calculator

I'm not sure if it's related to gtk+ or cinnamon, because under the gnome DE I couldn't reproduce this bug.

Here you can find the related gtk-Ticket: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764959

Enviroment:
Antergos (4.4.5-1-Arch)
Cinnamon 2.8.8
gtk3 v3.20.3-1
gtk-theme: Adwaita

I'm experiencing the same issues with an almost identical environment (Antergos + Cinnamon) freshly installed.

I attached a video showing the issue, notice the grey line on the right hand side of the screen which shows only when icons are available on the desktop, it's almost new and I'm not sure if it has something to do with the issue.

On Arch Linux this has been happening as well. Some programs that handle it on their own, like Chrome, IntelliJ, or Hexchat do not have this problem. However, any program which uses the normal GTK context menu will have this issue (as far as I can tell).

i can confirm this. right clicking folders works fine, but right clicking on the desktop background e.g. will open at the position, where the context menu was opened for the first time.

FYI: There is already reported issue in muffin repo

linuxmint/muffin#224

Happens to me aswell, hope it gets fixed

[ladywithhat]

problem still persists on:

gtk2 2.24.30-1
gtk3 3.20.3-1
cinnamon 2.8.8-2

Any advice how to fix it on archlinux?

@ladywithhat Ask your maintainer to add follow patch linuxmint/muffin@65fd5fe to muffin package

[olliemath]

@ladywithhat @DemonWav until patched in the official repo, you can use the PKGBUILD at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=211560 to install the patched version of muffin. It should upgrade naturally when 2.8.6 is released.

For the Arch guys: Now it's in the official repos:
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/muffin&id=8755204de5b4c16fc09ea3f4ee670e5366c37300

I'm also suffering with this, happens in both and old but up-to-date cinnamon and in a fresh one, different machine. Is the Arch patch above mentioned good to be used in the Mint?
