I am running Gentoo with Awesome WM (which I checked to make sure key mappings weren't interferring). When left/right clicking in FireFox, menus appear fine.

After updating Thunderbird to 31.3, I am unable to click on the menu bar. If I left click on any label in the menu bar, nothing happens. This worked in the prevous 31.x version that I had before updating.

Also, if I left click the menu button on the right, nothing happens there either. Right clicking on the empy areas or on an email also does NOT bring up another menu.

I can left click to select messages, but left clicking menu bars (i.e., File, Edit, View, Go, ...) does not work.

I found a solution, but its not a fix. Turns out that if I add the command "thunderbird" to my key mapping file of my window manager, it works, but if I start thunderbird from the command line, then things like the menus don't work properly. Same applies for firefox in my case.
