RIght Click Context Menu not Displaying

I have this problem on two different machines.  When I right click a file the contextual menu just flashes for a split second and then disappears.  I have to actually hold down the right mouse button for it to stay there.  I'm running XFCE4 with a gtk2 theme.  Does anybody have an idea why this is happening?

All the logs file don't show anything unusual?? If you configure a default theme how it's behaves??

Re: RIght Click Context Menu not Displaying

The theme works fine.  I'm using Aurora at the moment.  I don't know which logs to check for anythin unusual...

Look in $HOME/.xsession-errors

Re: RIght Click Context Menu not Displaying

Try this

touch ~/.xsession-errors

Then in your .xinitrc file add at the top:

# {{{ Log settings
errorlog="$HOME/.xsession-errors"

# Start with a clean log file every time
if ( cp /dev/null "$errorlog" 2> /dev/null ); then
chmod 600 "$errorlog"
     exec > "$errorlog" 2>&1

fi
# }}}

Then reload XFCE, and post what you get in .xsession_error file

Re: RIght Click Context Menu not Displaying

Workarounds:
1. Try without the aurora theme. Do you install it from arch repositories?

2. Disables compiz if you have.

3. See also this: http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?action=search2

Good luck!

Re: RIght Click Context Menu not Displaying

I have the same problem as OP mentioned. I am using XFCE as well. The default XFCE themes work  well. But I have this problem with Aurora and also the Shiki-Colors-gtk theme (both installed either from AUR or from the arch repositories). Whenever I right-click on a file in Thunar, the contextual menu flashes and goes away. I have to hold the right mouse button to keep the menu from disappearing. The right-click works fine everywhere else.  For now I am stuck with default themes sad

Re: RIght Click Context Menu not Displaying

Yeah, I just installed Arch Modern from this forum and I'm not having the same problem anymore.  As you said it's because of Aurora.  ArchModern looks good to me and it doesn't use aurora.
