I have installed Intellij IDEA 10 on Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) and the way the context menu works is annoying me.

The context menu is visible as long as I keep the right button pressed (if I release the button, the menu disappears). To click on a menu item, I have to position the cursor upon the item with the right button pressed and then release it. I've also figured out two alternative ways to keep the menu visible with the right button released:

  • To right-click, drag, and release the button outside the context menu.
  • Ctrl + Right-click or Shift + Right-click

But I would expect the "normal" behavior: that when I right-click and release, the menu keeps visible until the next click (on an item or outside the menu). Is there a way to change this behavior?

Thanks in advance.
