Start Menu right click malfunction

Example:

I Click on Start
I Click on Accessories
I hover over calculator
I right click on calculator and the right click menu opens for about .5 seconds and vanishes.

This happens anytime I right click on anything in the start menu.

How do I fix this?

Hi Tracy
I encountered this particular issue with a few other bugs when i tested 17 on a test machine. For this reason i decided to stick with a perfectly working 16 as i wasn't prepared to waste time nutting these issues out.
Sorry i'm no help, but i can confirm there is bug here.

Seen it on other distros - this is what caught my eye!:

Yes Wayland does it (or rather does not) do it again!

A Question for that: Do You have the Autohide Function from the Zorin Taskbar active? If yes, that could be the Reason.

I just realized you get a unique menu when right-clicking the start button.

After the right-click, does the context menu go away if you don't move your mouse at all? That is, without any actual hovering over anything.

You may also find something if you reproduce this bug, and then launch Logs (Start -> Utilities -> Logs). Move to the "All" tab for all generated log activity, which hopefully contains something useful in there. Most recent entries appear first.

@Ponce-De-Leon You Nailed it!

Your are correct. I had "Panel Intellihide" turned on. I turned it off and the issue went away.

Now the question is how to fix it because I want the to use the Intellihide.

Update #1: I clicked the gear next to the switch to enable intellihide then clicked the "Reset to Defaults" button and now it's all working.

I went back and turned off the "Floating Round Theme" and all is still working correctly.

I don't know which setting or combination of settings caused the issue but it is working now.

I do know it always hid, now it only hides to not obscure the bottom of an open window.

Now I can r-click an item on the start menu and use the "Add to desktop" function, yaaaa!
