Context Menu Sometime Not Workig In Release - 2022.7.1

L4bRAT | Last updated: Jul 27, 2022 03:00PM UTC

Hi Team, I recently updated to Burp Pro v2022.7.1. I noticed that sometimes the second level context menu don't work. Steps to reproduce: 1) Intercept a request 2) Then right-click to get the first level context menu - This works well! 3) Then click on any of these sub-menus -> Scan, Extensions, Engagement tools, Don't Intercept Requests, Do Intercept 4) No Second level context menu appears. Not sure what's the frequency of occurence of this issue.

Hi, Are you able to create a video demonstrating this behaviour and send it to support@portswigger.net? I am struggling to reproduce the behaviour that you have described so I can only assume I am missing some precise detail so it would be good to see exactly what you are doing when this occurs. Would you also be able to send us your diagnostic information (via the Help -> Diagnostics main menu option) so that we can see the exact setup that you are using?

Is there some more info on this? I have the same problem on my windows machine with Burp Suite Professional v2022.9.5 For me the problem is there all the time, which forces me to use a Linux VM where it works without a problem. If it helps, i could send some diagnostic data.

Hi David, Could you send your diagnostic information to support@portswigger.net. Would you also be able to make a screen recording of the behaviour that you are experiencing so that we can see exactly what is happening (this is not something that I have been able to replicate with either of the versions mentioned in this forum thread so it would be good to get as much information as we can in order to attempt to replicate the issue)?

I'm having the same issue in v2022.9.5. What's odd is that when I close/reopen burp, a context menu will work one time (e.g., highlighting a request). When I attempt to use the context menu again, it simply won't do anything. Any news on what this might be?

Hi Jonathan, This is not something that we have been able to replicate as of yet. Are you able to tell us more about your setup? What operating system are you running Burp on? Are you accessing the machine that Burp is installed on directly or is this a virtualized machine? Is there anything else unusual about the machine/access/environment (the more information we can get the better chance we have of being able to replicate this)?

Hi Ben, I'm running Burp directly in Windows 10 Pro. As far as I know, there's really nothing too special about my install. Unfortunately, I hadn't been doing a lot of testing over the last couple months, so it's hard to pinpoint exactly when this behavior started to occur. However, my experience seems to be very much in line with what the others have reported.

Hi Jonathan, Thank you for that. Windows 10 is one of the operating systems I have been attempting to replicate this on but I can certainly take a further deep dive using this specific OS. Are you still able to access the main menus when this happens? If so, assuming that you have performance feedback already turned on (if not, would you be able to switch this on under the User options -> Misc -> Performance Feedback section of Burp), would you be able to either supply us with your Debug ID or provide us with your diagnostic information (this will contain your Debug ID) just so we can double check whether any errors are being reported from Burp when this does happen (feel free to drop us an email at support@portswigger.net with this information). Am I correct to assume that you are running the installable version of Burp (not the standalone Jar)?

I've noticed the same behaviour. So I can right-click in the request window, and the first context menu is quick, however if I then move my mouse down to the "extensions" menu for example it will sit there for about 30 seconds before bringing up the next context menu listing extensions. Sometimes it won't populate at all. I'm running v2022.9.6 on Win11 22H2 however this also happened on Win 11 21H2. I've got a lot of extensions loaded, however I haven't noticed this behaviour until recently.

Hi Ross, Can you consistently replicate this behaviour or does it happen randomly?

Tamás | Last updated: Jan 06, 2023 05:40PM UTC

Hello all, Same issue here. Sub menus of the context menu are horribly slow. I use the "Extensions" menu from HTTP history very often, but after a while it starts became _very_ slow. Win10. - 10.0.19045 Build 19045 I can constantly replicate this behavior. What additional info could I help with?

Hello all, I am getting the same issue each time I try to access right click sub menu. Any updates on this? Did anyone get the solution? Regards,
