[racket] DRRacket right-click menu fragility in Linux.

Didn't try, but if I disable syntax check, the tooltips don't show, so I
guess it's the same.
I correct my previous answer: disabling syntax-check helps a little, but
the mouse pointer must not move during the whole click (which is quite
difficult on my touchpad).
The menu stays longer, but still randomly disappears after some mouse moves.

Do you want me to try the patch anyway?

In case this bug is not resolved, would it be possible to have the same
bindings in a regular window menu?
(Or at list could you tell me what the bindings are so that I can make a
plugin script?)
