1759952 - Some Context Menu Items Don't Work With Native GTK Context Menus

Attachment: Trying GTK native context menu items

Seemingly random context menu items don't work with native GTK menus.

Notably, copying and pasting text for example doesn't work. Save Page As... does not open a window to save the page. Still, other items like Reload work fine.

One thing I noticed was that while copying in the URL bar works, copying in webpages does not.

Attached is a (somewhat confusing, apologies) video of me trying various things with the GTK native context menus. Hopefully it gets the idea across

I tried this, Send Page to Device is broken. also it is showing Back and Forward as text instead of Icons.

This is expected, those menus need more work.

The menu presenting Back and Forward as text instead of Icons is desirable. Some of my grandparents really struggle to ascertain what your obscure iconography is, and for the sake of consistency and accessibility (think screen-readers) they should remain as text. No benefits are gained by their current implementation.

Pela primeira vez decidi usar o widget.gtk.native-context-menus e acabo de encarar o mesmo problema.
Do menu context, de todas apções as unicas que funcionam são:

• Select All

For the first time I decided to use widget.gtk.native-context-menus, and I just faced the same problem.
From the context menu, of all the options, the only ones that work are:

"Select All" and any option added by extensions

Btw, sorry for the latest incomplete portuguese message.

I don't think you need to apologize. We have access to translators. :) It is a shame that this feature hasn't seen much improvement.
