You probably have some performance problem with your graphics card.

What FPS are you getting in game (you can enable FPS in options).

The "not staying open"  - not sure. Possibly 2 right click events were sent, or 
you got impatient.

I'd suggest trying the reduce quality slider.  One of the things it does 
disable the slide-in animation of the weapon menu.
Weapon menu drawing itself has been significantly improved from the past 
(single draw op instead of hundreds).

If your FPS is sucking, you can try a smaller game window, checking for gfx 
driver update, and disabling compositing in your window manager.  As well as 
the reduce quality slider ofc...

i'm always on 62fps.

Is there something to test the 2mouse events? in normal desktop mode it works 
like it should, only hedgewars and only ingame has this problem

doesnt change anything, this little lag still happens, even with the lowest 
quality

doesnt change anything, with or without compositing, fullscreen, big window, 
little window. the lag still is present with a rightclick.

Hm. Really should be no lag at all on lowest quality since the animation is 
pretty much gone, unless the lag is in the game actually getting the event.
Can you pastebin a game log?
Also, what fps do you get if you run:
vblank_mode=0 glxgears

With the default window size?

Do you have any other window managers you could try in? Maybe a plain X session?

i dont think its a performance thing. because of a hint from my niece i found 
out that the same lag is there with right, left and middle mouse button, but 
not with scroll (while scrolling) and not with side mouse buttons or keyboard 
input
Using another mouse dont helped here

i now tried it with the following starter
killall kwin& hedgewars& sleep 60 && kwin

the first thing i noticed was that this lag is gone without windowmanager. 
after the minute kwin starts again, with compositing any everything normal, but 
the lag is still not back. even after a complete game close and start, there is 
no lag anymore.

i will reboot now and see if the lag will come back.
thx so far :)

back after reboot and no lag is there anymore. i didnt do something other, than 
your glxgears test, and my try without. so what happened?

if it wont come back here on this computer, i'll try the netbook next weekend 
(it's my mothers, so its not here right now)

Well, you restarted KDE, maybe KDE was having issues.
After all, you said killing kwin helped.
If it comes back, I'd definitely try another window manager, and maybe filing a 
bug against KDE.
You might want to check for error messages in .xsession-errors, dmesg and xorg 
log in future.

Your glxgears rate is kinda "meh" (that is, about 18x slower than mine) but, 
eh, is an intel card.

Anyway, since it works now, going to go w/ "not a hedgewars problem"

On the netbook runs unity, with the same issue.. maybe a driver bug?

some idea what i should look for?

i just need a stable, smooth desktop without any problem with new kernels or 
xorgs/wayland. so there is no other option yet.

thanks for your help :)

Unity is kind of a hog too, I'd try MATE :)

MATE is also, at least w/ default WM, uncomposited.  I know you don't think 
that was issue, but, can't hurt to try that across the board just in case...

WRT what to look for, sorry, no idea, but, you know, anything that is making 
the logs noisier than usual.
