720080 - Firefox does not respect "Simulated Secondary Click" in Ubuntu

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

Description

[Eric O'Connor]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
Build ID: 20111228084940

Steps to reproduce:

I installed Ubuntu 11.10.

I enabled System Settings > Universal Access > Simulated Secondary Click

I enjoyed simulated right clicking on my laptop click-pad which is not supported in the Linux kernel.


Actual results:

Firefox does not respect the simulated click, and instead registers both events in sequence.

I click down, and a click is registered by Firefox. My cursor fills in orange, and I release, triggering a right click.

This means, for example, that I cannot right click on any active elements within Firefox without triggering them.


Expected results:

The system setting should have been respected, and Firefox should not register a click event when I click-hold to trigger the simulated right click.
