Yan Tavares's questions

So I’ve seen some very old forum questions about this issue, but could not find any known workaround that works in Ubuntu 20.04.

The issue:

When I right click I see the context menu, but it automatically clicks the first option and disappears. I first noticed this issue on VScode but have noticed that it also happens on various applications.

Apparently the normal behaviour in newer Ubuntu versions is to hold the right button and then release on the chosen menu option, and I wish I could change that. Old posts suggest that it is not possible but perhaps there is a new solution?

I tried:

I already tried using EasyStroke to create a custom behaviour for the right click, but even though it solves the presented issue, it ends up causing many other problems.

I also got a fresh Ubuntu install (for unrelated reasons) and the problem still persists.

I also switched mice to see if it was a hardware problem but had no success.

I noticed it happens mostly in certain parts of the screen near its middle (which makes me even more confused).

I’m a relatively new Ubuntu user, thanks in advance!

So I was configuring VS code on my Notebook when suddenly I noticed that my interface font got really small on my desktop, terminal and files.

I use Gnome Tweaks Tool to increase my scaling factor to 1,15 , but, even though it was active, the font stayed tiny.

The solution I found was moving my scaling factor, which instantly fixed my font issue, however, every time I restart my Notebook the font gets tiny again and I have to repeat the process.

I tried reseting my font configuration using this command, but had no success.

gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor

I also tried using the command

dconf reset -f /

Finally, I tried using dconf-editor, but still had no success altering the font rendering DPI or changing the scaling factor.

All of the steps I mentioned fixed my fonts temporarily, but the issue still persists when I restart my Notebook

I am out of ideas and even considered getting a fresh Ubuntu install by now...
