Greetings!

I am currently experiencing an odd problem I have never run into before and I am hoping someone can help me out with this. 

What happens is when I right click into a window near some text the usual formatting box opens. However, when I right click on text that has been highlighted the window seems to close and studder a little, no dialog box opens, and any text on the clipboard is erased.

I tried turning off features and found that when click and drag text was unchecked the problem completely disappears. It isn't a big problem to have this feature unchecked but it does have my curiosity aroused. 

Thanks for listening,
Degovx

Important Details:
PlayOnLinux 4.2.1
WINE 1.6
Ubuntu 13.10 using Unity completely updated.
Office 2007 installed using POL script. The only change was I switched WINE to System.
The debugger dialog only contains information about Gnome-Keyring but here it is anyway:
p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryp11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Those /user/lib/i386 errors probably means you don't have the 32-bit libraries installed.

Is Ubuntu 13.10 the 64-bit version?

It is the 64 bit installation of Ubuntu. I installed the 32 bit libraries but I am still getting the same problem (but no messages in the debugger dialog).

I have a feeling Office needs to be installed with Wine set to Windows XP and then service pack 3 needs to be installed too.
I usually get Service Pack 3 by installing IE8
I'm sure Office needs dotnet 20 and dotnet30 too.

Do you remember if those installed the first time you installed Office?
