@zakphi, did you try reloading Brackets without extensions to see if the problem is still there?
If you haven't, you can do this by selecting Debug > Reload Without Extensions.
In particular, this might be caused by either one of the Themes extensions.

Well, I can repro this with only brackets-git enabled...

@SAPlayer Does it repro without brackets-git? It works fine on my machine, but I don't have that extension...

@lkcampbell your solution worked. the problem was due to the theme extension i have installed. for your information, the theme extension i am using is called Themes for Brackets by Jacob Lauritzen (jacsebl@hotmail.com)

Yes, it's a known bug on both versions of the Themes extensions because they share some common code and the bug is in that common code. FYI, here are the issues:

This issue has been haunting themes for the longest time. I debugged this a while ago and traced it to a CodeMirror piece of logic. I kinda gave up when I saw that the issue is berried somewhere in CodeMirror. Unfortunate. I think I should be taking a second look at this in the next couple of days.

@MiguelCastillo Are there themes that remove the pointer-events: none from the CodeMirror DOM node? That could definitely break things like this... Ideally themes would only touch colors, for safety.

@peterflynn I am not sure themes commonly will do that because that's more of an interaction thing that themes generally wont use. I do that in my interactive linter so that I can enable clicking on the items on the gutter. But for themes? I haven't seen it yet.
I spent sometime this Sunday on this nasty menu thing... It's definitely a timing issue inside of CodeMirror and its addons. Here is how I was able to test that.
A quick way to reproduce the issue: Open up the context menu on a JavaScript file and then clicking on a curly bracket so that the match bracket parser kicks in. With themes installed, you see that the menu does NOT go away. Without themes, the menu does go away. I can reproduce this issue without themes with breakpoints in the code.
If I enable the breakpoint on 2521 and then continue code execution, my jQuery event listener would never get called... And the breakpoint on 2726 never gets called. If I disabled breakpoint 2521, then listener gets called and 2726 also kicks in.
I am trying to extract this whole behavior in a more simplified environment so that I can log this issue Marijnh.
Really crappy that Themes is just exposing this issue.
whenever i right click on something and the menu appears, the only way to make the menu disappear is by clicking ESC. if you have the menu up and you right click in another spot, the menu just moves to the new spot. clicking the left button doesn't do anything when the menu is up.
