Right click, three dots menu, and <select> broken on goomwwm on linux as of version 55

Reported by m...@tomhudson.co.uk, Mar 21 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Be using the goomwwm window manager (https://github.com/seanpringle/goomwwm)
2. Launch Chrome
3. Try to right click anywhere on a page, use a <select> menu, or the 'three dots' menu on the top right of the browser window
4. The top-bar flashes, no context menu appears

This has been happening since Chrome/Chromium version 55. Version 54 works as expected.

A short video of the problem occurring can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAbwbWssGFw

This issue does not present under other window managers (e.g. Unity), but also does not present under other applications (e.g. Firefox) using goomwwm. Chrome/Chromium is the only application I've found with this issue.

What is the expected behavior?
The context menu appears.

What went wrong?
The context menus for right click, <select> and the 'three dots' menu do not appear. 

Did this work before? Yes 54

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.110  Channel: stable
OS Version: 15.10
Flash Version: 

I've been unable to find any errors in any logs while the problem is occurring. If there's any more information I could provide please let me know.
 
A bit of manual bisecting (using builds from http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html?prefix=Linux/) has narrowed this down further.

The breakage happens somewhere between r414803 (which works) and r414808 (which doesn't work).

There's only a handful of commits between the two revisions, of which this looks the most likely (to my layman eyes at least): https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/3b6aeffa075816129e32e57412b1c89ba619df10

Does the issue still happen in this case:

1. Open a chrome window
2. Create a new tab
3. Drag the tab out of the window (creating a new window) and back in
4. Try opening menus
Just checked and yes, it does still happen in that case.

It seems to be basically all menus; folders in the bookmarks bar, right click, everything.

Hi there. I can confirm the problem exists under 59.0.3053.3 (current 'dev channel' build for linux) with a fresh profile.

I've attached a screencast comparing 54 and 59. Every time the top bar flashes in 59 it's me trying to right click or open a menu. This is happening on 3 different machines so I'm sure it's not machine-specific.

I wasn't aware that goomwwm worked under Wndows and Mac... I looked at your screencast but that doesn't look to be running under goomwwm?
