This is weird - right click menu is looking good here.

Are you sure you're pointing to an URL?
If you run `xfce4-terminal --disable-server` from another terminal and open right click menu, will it produce any messages?
What is your OS and what are gtk3/vte versions installed?

I think this is the same issue that has been reported here: https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/916
Ubuntu maintainers have patched vte package and stripped PCRE2 support which broke the entire URL recognition thing (as it's based on vte regexes).

vte version check is performed in https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/tree/terminal/terminal-private.h#n26, lines 26-49. Commenting this code out and rebuilding the package should be able to work-around the issue for now.

The issue has been worked-around in Artful package. There's nothing I can do here, closing.
