So i've booted into a completely different fresh LinuxMint drive right now
that's only ever had gambas 3.15.90 on it.
Getting all the same problems.
I'm compiling latest commit as we speak but before i started that i loaded
gambas and guess what , no right-click menu just like on the other OS
I'm guessing it's gambas as this is a different system with just 3.15.90 on
it.
I have done make uninstall first.
./reconf-all --force to ensure full renewal.
If it's a problem with the gambas installation then it's a problem with the
way it's installed as i've not messed it about.

Well the guy who first wrote this post obviously has similar issues.
I completely understand Ben, have had to track a few bugs in my own
software that i could not reproduce myself. not an easy task and i feel for
you fella.

All i can do is give what information i can about it and hopefully a
problem will be noticed in the code sometime.

Okay,,, it's now compiled and installed..
Notes..
Fresh LinuxMint 20 hardly anything installed on it
Gambas version 3.15.90 pure (none of my patches, a separate gambas-master
clone download folder grom gitlab/gambas/gambas. nothing to do with me)
./reconf-all --force used

I load the IDe and no right click menu.
I used the search box a couple of times and the IDE locked up.
ALL the same issues i have on the other system.
Sorry but i really do not think it's a problem my end.
Perhaps you could partition a drive and install a clean mint on it and
compile the latest gambas on it ?
as i have just done for you.
Then maybe you will be able to reproduce the errors?

attached is an image of what happened when i used the search box twice , it
worked okay first time.

Thank you Ben.
