[Solved] brave-browser: popup menus disappear when any menu item is left-clicked

<< < (3/3)

GNUser:
Thanks, Rich. Yes, the symlink made that particular error go away but makes no difference for my issue.

The issue seems to be that fluxbox affects the left mouse button in a way that brave-browser doesn't expect. I've filed a bug/support ticket with the fluxbox developers here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/fluxbox/bugs/1187/

In the meantime, if any fellow TCL+fluxbox users know how to tame fluxbox with regard to this issue, please do share.

GNUser:
Turns out this is one of those "second order" bugs that arise when a particular combination of applications is being used--in this case, fluxbox + certain versions of chromium (brave-browser is a chromium derivative):
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=713746

The workaround is to launch brave-browser with the "--disable-features=SendMouseLeaveEvents" flag:

--- Code: ---$ brave-browser --disable-features=SendMouseLeaveEvents
--- End code ---

Thread may be marked as solved :)

What a coincidence. Searching on those  dbus  errors returned only  chromium  issues.

Fluxbox has 2 focus options,  Click To Focus  and  Mouse Focus (focus follows mouse).  Are you by any chance using
Mouse Focus?  If you are, I bet changing to  Click To Focus  also fixes it.

GNUser:
I had tried all of fluxbox's focus options to no avail.

Rich:
Hi GNUser
I saw a reference to  sloppy focus (focus follows mouse)  in the bug report you linked to causing the issue in a
different window manager (FVWM). Figured it might be an issue here too. Oh well.
