On certain sites I can't regular click links, must use right click open link in..

Reported by catle...@gmail.com, Mar 16 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.98 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://www.memset.com/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Browse to http://www.memset.com/
2. Hover over services
3. Click Virtual Servers under the Servers option

What is the expected behavior?
The browser should load the Virtual Servers url.

What went wrong?
The browser acts as if the click did not occur.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes 56.0.2924.87

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.98  Channel: stable
OS Version: debian unstable
Flash Version: none

I've tried with a new profile and the same result occurs. Rolling back to 56.0.2924.87 and the site works. 

I've seen this behavior on multiple sites, another example is https://www.rackspace.com/   If navigate the menu via Cloud -> Public Cloud -> Google Cloud the clicking action on Google Cloud doesn't work, but I can right-click and open it in a new tab or window.

If required I can produce logs, find additional sites, etc.

It's worth mentioning this is similar in nature to  issue 701599 , but it seems like I only notice it when it seems the site implements some kind of drop down menu system, but I could be wrong.

It's also worth noting that doing ctrl-click to open the links in a new tab does not work as well on the example sites.

I've tried 57.0.2987.98 on Mac OS X 10.11 and it works there, so it might just be an xorg and/or Linux issue.

Did some more testing and this appears the only happen when running under the awesome window manager, if I switch to xfce4 it works fine.

Unable to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome stable #57.0.2987.110 by following steps mentioned in the original comment. By clicking on the link 'Virtual Servers' it navigates to the expected content with no issues.

As per comment #1 this issue looks similar to  bug 701599 , Hence adding 	nzolghadr@ for more updates on this issue.

Thanks!
I have the same problem. 702591 is a duplicate.

 Issue 701599  happens only on Chrome 58 and the cause went in only in 58 and not in 57. But this seems to be happening on 57 however I wasn't able to repro that on Mac either. catl...@ do you happen to have any extensions or anything installed?

I believe this is a duplicate of  issue 701637 .

Try on your awesome window manager by launching Chrome with "--disable-features=SendMouseLeaveEvents".

Fix was merged into M58 today.

Comment 8 by catle...@gmail.com, Mar 17 2017

In the profile I used for testing Chrome I didn't have any extensions installed. I verified that it exists in 57.0.2987.110 this morning.

After launching Chrome with the disabling of SendMouseLeaveEvents I was unable to produce the issue on the test sites given.

Since it's merged into M58, I'm assuming it's safe for this issue to be closed.

Thanks a lot for the fast responses!
