Automatic right click when not intended

I'm facing this strange problem. The right-clicked context menu appears out of nowhere near the mouse, even when I'm expecting it to. This happens while I'm making a normal one finger tap, or simply moving the mouse on the touchpad, or even sometimes when I'm only using the keyboard of my laptop.
I was going through this wiki page and wanted to check on the settings. After changing the 'TapButton2' and 'TapButton3' settings in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf' file, it's current content looks like:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "0"
Option "TapButton3" "0"
EndSection
And the output of 'synclient' shows as:
Parameter settings:
LeftEdge = 1754
RightEdge = 5230
TopEdge = 1639
BottomEdge = 4483
FingerLow = 24

The values of 'TapButton2' and 'TapButton3' still shows as '3' and '2' respectively, even after I changed both of them to '0' in the '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf' file. Even after restarting the system.
The touchpad works properly for me in Ubuntu 10.10, and I'm facing this problem in Arch only. Please suggest how to identify and fix this auto pop-up of the right-click context menu.

I'm still facing the same issue. Any help on this will be great.

Right-Clicks are not working when burned to disc.

Hi,
I need to use some right clicks in my course.
They work when I publish the file to my desktop or Server (unchecking 'Enable Accessiblity' and using 'Flash Global Settings'), however when I then burn the files to disc to give to a client, the right clicks do not work.
The course is made in Captivate 5.5 and is published to Flash 9.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Hi Hattie
One way past this would be to install a light web server on the disc that would fool the Flash Player into believing it is being served. Check the thread linked below for more.

Hello Srinivas,
Try closing and opening NWDS. If you still see the same problem, simple solution for this is, Just Change Workspace to new folder.
Changing workspace - Window -> Workbench -> workspace -> give new path.
Close nwds and open it again. It should solve the problem.
Thanks,
Sridhar

Right-click funcionality not working in assessment mode. I NEED HELP!

Hi - I've recently created a number of assessment recordings. The right-click function works as I'm recording as well as when preview the project and then after I publish it. However, when I give it to a colleague(s) to demo it, for some reason the assessment isn't recognizing her right-click and she gets stuck. We're both running the same IE, flash and windows versions so I am really a at a loss on this one. Has anyone ever encountered the same problem and if so what did you do to fix it?! Thanks a million!

Now when you run the movie in your browser, Right-Click is not working...
off course it will not work, as Right-Click uses Flash External Interface, and this new path
is not a trusted path by your flash player
Solution : You need to add this new path to your Flash Player security
Scenario 2: You just shared your right-click movie folder over the network ,
say the new path for other users is   "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
( or "\\nework-machine-02\work\captivate-movies\My-Rihgt-Click" )
and other users are complaining that , Right-Click is not working...
Yes once again the reason is same and new path   "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
( or "\\nework-machine-02\work\captivate-movies\My-Rihgt-Click" )   in not a trusted path by
other user's flash player
Solution : other user need to add this path "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
into his Flash player security setting.
How to add a path to flash player security setting?

My iMac mouse right click does not work now

Hi all,
My iMac mouse right click does not work now. It was fine a couple of days ago.
Right click is definitely enabled, I have checked it several times.
A Google search revealed that in Firefox it could be that I'm not using the latest version of Firebug. I have auto updates on and Firebug is the latest version 1.11.3
I use right click for correcting spell checked words, instead of a suggested correct spelling I get the 'open in a new tab' menu.
In Firefox when I right click to open in a new tab I get the menu but it does nothing.
It is driving me mad
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thank you
P.S. thought it was suddenly working when I did the spell check in this post but it was the left click doign it....

I don't use Firefox so I can't test it, but it might be something to do with a preference setting. Have a look at this link (ignore all the instructions), just look at the image of the preferences, there appears to be a setting in Javascript preferences relating to contextual menus. Check to see what your settings are:

Mouse right click throttled/not detected after burst of right clicks

I have a problem with the right click of my mouse after sending a "burst" of clicks (I cant really count but its at least 1/sec).
I noticed this problem first when trying to play Dota2, I have not yet tested if I can reproduce the problem from any other application.
The problem carries on after closing Dota2. I ran xev afterwards to see if it detects the right clicks accordingly but it also misses a lot of right-clicks, left clicks and mouse movement work flawlessly. The problem occurs with different window manager (i3 and awesome).
Steps to reproduce:
- Start Dota2, join a game
- Do a lot of right clicks
- After a short burst of right clicks a lot of right clicks are not registered, making it nearly impossible to play
- Quit Dota2
- Still miss a lot of right clicks

How do you eject your iOS device from photos? Right clicking does not bring up the menu.

I noticed there is no intuitive way to eject the iOS device from Photos. No up arrow, and right clicking does not bring up an eject option. I do not want to enlarge the "other" space of my iOS device by not ejecting it properly.

I too have noticed this. Yesterday after downloading photos from my iPhone 5s to Mac Photos for the first time since iOS and OSX updates on the weekend. I do not have the option to sync this phone to iTunes when connected ticked so only Photos opens. After download I wanted to eject the phone but noted no eject arrow in Photos, I went to a new Finder window and was surprised to see the phone was not listed under Devices so I had to launch iTunes and allow a sync to complete before I could eject. This is plainly not right, the industry and Apple themselves tell us constantly that we must "Eject" before removal of a USB device. If not one usually gets a dialogue box to say the device was not properly ejected.

My right click is not working. the context menu does not come up and i can no longer drag files/folders. I have checked the mouse and track pad in system preferences and the correct boxes are all checked (with a support member). Please can you help

My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
Please can you help with this.
It has only just happened in the last few days.
Many thanks

You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
(Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).

My pull down menu above the green "back" button disappeared recenly after I intalled an update. How to I get it back so I can print since right clicking does not give me a print option?

I used to have a tool bar at the top of the screen that had file, print, help, etc. After I recently installed something ( I can't remember what), the tool bar no longer appears. Help I need it back! I need to print screens and right clicking does not allow for a print option and my print screen button on my computer does not get me anywhere either. Please describe any help in simple terms - I'm just an average computer user! Thanks.

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Right click problem: I did not know about the Yahoo sidebar issue, I have removed all toolbars from my browser from 'view' menu. There is nothing in my 'extensions' to disable. Right click is not working. What to do?

Right clicking is not working on any of the websites. I read up that it's a Yahoo sidebar issue. But, in my extentions, Yahoo sidebar is not there. I had removed all toolbars, but from 'view' menu. Now how do I get my right click to work?

In "Show more Bookmarks" if I right click does not work (I want to open in a new tab)

This is using Mac Firefox current version. I use lots of tabs and don't have space for all of them so there is a >> at the right end for clicking and displaying the rest of them. If I click and display list and highlight one of them, the right click does not work - I want to open in a new tab not use the existing - there are no menu options displayed on these tabs. The tabs across the top work fine for this

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

On right click nothing happens at all. I have reinstall the ODI multiple times with right installer. issue persist.
Please help.

Hi,
Did you use the generic installer or the win32 one ? You should use the former with Win64.
You can also check that your version of Java is supported in the certification matrix.

I HAVE IMAC 27 INCH MY MOUSE RIGHT CLICK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY .ANY ONE HAVE HIS PROBLEM

I HAVE IMAC 27 INCH MY MOUSE RIGHT CLICK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY .ANY ONE HAVE THIS PROBLEM

Have you tried going to System Preferences>Mouse and making sure that right click is set to secondary click?

Can the magic mouse be set to emulate a right click when tapped?

I recently purchased an Apple Magic Mouse.
I also have a MBP with a track pad which I have configured to do a right click when I tap it.
The small problem I have is that the AMM needs to be pressed similar to the way the track pad used to before I configured the tap-to-click.
Can this be done for the magic mouse.
Thanks for any assistance.
Barry

Hello there, bholtzkener.
To set up secondary click on the mouse the following article should provide very helpful:
OS X Mountain Lion: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11298
The screen where you make the choice looks like this:
Keep in mind, the mouse should be used with the Apple logo at the base of the hand and should provide the "click" sensation when you tap the other side with finger tips.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

HT1338 why does my mac keep right clicking when i am not trying to right click?

New mac is only 2 months old.
I will be happily typing along and click on something and then it keeps popping up with drop downs as if i right clicked!
I must be doing something wrong?

Check System Preferences Mouse pane (or Trackpad pane). For the Mouse pane, make sure the Primary mouse button is set for the one on the left.
The Control key toggles the "right-click" with the primary button, when the Control key is pressed down while clicking the primary mouse button (or on a Magic Trackpad). So make sure you are not pressing the Control key inadvertently.
Also, if you are using a Magic Trackpad (separate or on a MacBook), the botton portion (along the edge closest to you) is sensitive to clicking on the right side versus left side. The rest of the trackpad is not. So, if you are clicking near that edge closest to you, a click on the right side will be a right-click. It is designed this way, because some people use their thumb along that edge to click (not their "pointing" finger); on old-school trackpads, physical buttons were located there. So, you can still point with the index finger and click with the thumb on the right or left "button." You should be able to adjust this behavior in System Preferences Trackpad pane.
