Right Click conflict

Just moved to a new Macbook Pro 15".
Now my right click (& two fingered tap on the trackpad) keeps bringing up dashboard instead of the contextual menu.
Where can I change this? Can't seem to find where to set this.
Much thanks in advance

Found it.

Right click on the mail list doesn't open the context menu any more.

Hi everybody,
Thunderbird stoped to show the context menu on the mail list recently. Right click just prints the crossing line. What the problem could it be?
Thanks anyone for any help.

Very odd.
Right click on email in list should open a drop down selection.
Usually a crossed line through something denotes that it is marked as deleted in an imap mail account.

See if there is a conflict with an addon.
Restart Thunderbird in safe mode.
Help > Restart with addons disabled.
then perform the same test; right click on email in list.
Do you get the drop down, if yes, then one of your addons is causing the conflict.
You would have to disbale each in turn to locate which one is the problem.
Maybe the addon needs updating.
Report back on results.

I have the same problem too. When i restarted with addons disablem problem dissapeared but when i switch to normal mode and disable all off the plugins and addons the problem still remains.
Please help.

Right-click no longer works in FF 7.0.1

Not sure exactly when it went away, but sometime in the last 72 hours, I've lost the ability to Right-Click any links in FF 7.0.1.
I've already tried all the usual: restart FF, restart the machine, check through the Add-ons.
Right clicking works just fine in Internet Explorer.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, but I found the issue myself. It appears there's a conflict between the Yahoo Toolbar and the Menu Editor Add-on.
I deleted Yahoo Toolbar since it wasn't used much anyway and the problem went away.

Safari does not download files automatically (not able to download at all - unless there is an option for a right click- download the linked file)

Hello all,
I have been having this issue for a while now it starts to get very annoying. Not just Safari, all of my browsers are unable to download any files unless I right click to save. However, for some files/apps there is no way to download at all. For example, when trying to download and install Flash for Safari, I was stuck on a blank web page when the file download was supposed to start, but nothing happened so the installation was unable to proceed. Was trying to download Chrome too, same issue... I could see the download link (as URL) grrr...but it just did not do anything.
Please help!!!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

Problems with new start button right-click context menu

I have been unable to come up with a rhyme or reason to this problem.
For some reason the Windows 8.1 start button will no longer respond to a right-click. The context menu will not come up. You can see that the active window is no longer active because the border color changes. The start button works as
expected when left-clicking it.
I first noticed this on a brand new Windows 8 machine that I upgraded to Windows 8.1. The problem occurred while I was messing with trying to customize the default user profile. The next time I logged in with a new user account the start button
was broke. The system I was using was stripped down. It had NO additional software on it except the drivers and necessary associated applications, and all available Windows updates were installed. I chaulked it up to something I messed up.
Next, I reformatted 20 lab computers with Windows 8.1 Pro and joined them to a Server 2003 domain. Users have roaming profiles and folder redirection policies. The folder redirection policies redirect AppData, Documents, and Desktop to a folder
on the server and the contents of these folders are shared between Windows XP and Windows 8.1. The roaming profiles are unique and new. Thus far all users have only logged on to Windows XP so they have the version 1 profile and when they logon
to the Windows 8.1 box a new .v2 profile folder is created.
Today, we logged about 12 users into these individual machines for the first time and about 3 or 4 of them could not right-click their start button. Once the problem occurs, it never goes away regardless of what machine they log into. The only
way to solve the problem is to default the profile off the computer and delete the roaming profile folder off the server. The problem has reoccurred after this but I'm not sure what triggers it.
In addition, I have tried renaming the user's redirected application data folder and letting Windows 8.1 create a new one in case there was a conflict with a Windows XP setting. This did not resolve the issue.

In my environment we had a network "Default User.V2" profile that we used with Win7 clients. Now, with Win8 and Win8.1 we've configured the clients to use V3 and V4 profiles (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2887239/en-us).
That link is for the Win8 hotfix, which changes the roaming profile of users to .V3, but there's also one for 8.1 and it changes the profile folder to .V4.
Anyway, we have since deleted the Default User.V2 from our network. In testing the creation of .V4 roaming profiles with Win8.1, I've figured out a little more about the WinX folder. If I have a roaming profile and log into a Win8.1 computer
for the first time, the WinX folder is created as part of my profile during the "Hi, we're setting things up, many bright colors" spiel before you get to the Metro screen. However, when I log out, because the WinX folder is in the Local AppData, it doesn't
get uploaded to my roaming profile location. If I then log back into the same computer, everything is fine because that computer still has a local copy of my profile with WinX in the Local AppData. However, if I log into any other computer, the
WinX folder doesn't get created and I can no longer right click on the Start menu (until I copy it to my Local AppData on that computer).
So, it seems that when I first log in to a Win8.1 computer and go through the "Hi....etc etc....many different colors" startup, the WinX folder is created and will work on that computer, but if I log into another computer, it isn't downloaded as part of
my roaming profile or re-created. Also, if you have the GPO set to delete copies of roaming profiles off of the computer when a user logs out, I would guess that the WinX folder would then get deleted and when you log back in you'd have the same issue.

Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?

I want to be able to open bookmarks in the same window without having to right click and then select open. I would like it to be like internet explorer where you have the option to open a bookmark in the same tab or new tab. I had downloaded an add on that solved the problem with a simple right click to open in new tab and left click to open in same tab. This makes things soooo much easier. Am I missing an add on or a configuration where I can solve this problem. Thanks for your time.

Very, very, very confusing!!!!! Exactly which is it that you want to do????? Left-click = same tab or left-click = new tab????
Your initial subject line:
'''''Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?'''''
Your last post (3rd post):
'''''Is there a way I can left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab...'''''
'''''''''...rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab."'''''''''
Right-click, '''not left-click''', has the "Open in new tab option".
Easy answer is listed in my initial reply; left-click, same tab; middle-click, new tab!
What are your Extensions?
-List them.
-You obviously set up some extension with some kind of conflict.
To find out which Extension is causing the problem, '''enable one-at-a-time''', restart Firefox for the change to take effect (File > Restart Firefox), test. When the problem re-appears, you know the extension causing the problem.

Why has "Pin as App Tab" command disappeared when I right click on a web site?

Very much like FF4 and especially App Tabs. Today when I relaunched FF (1) App Tabs have disappeared (I have been reading how to keep them when I reopen FF) and (2) I no longer have a "Pin as App Tab" command when I right click on a web site I want to pin. Anyone got any clues? I am wondering if there is a conflict with Cooliris?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
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")

Firefox hangs and will not allow me to access other programs running when I resize a pop up window, move a pop up window, accidentally right click flash content.

== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Not sure when it statrted

Hi.
When this happens, please press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and see how much RAM and CPU Firefox is using. If they're sky high, then... Well, that kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix you issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly.

How to disabled 'user settings' in ALV by right clicking

Hi,
How to disable the 'user setting' context menu and corresponding popup after right clicking in the ALV.
I already tried parameter wddisableuserpersonalization = X but still I can do a right click and go to user settings.
Hope you can provide the right solution/method etc.
Thanks, John

Hi,
In my opinion this has nothing to do with auth settings... Has everything been transported cleanly?
You should double check the settings on your Acceptance machine, especially considering WD_GLOBAL_SETTING. If User-Personalization is allowed here, it will overwrite everything else.
Maybe also check WD_ANALYZE_CONFIG_USER on Acceptance machine and delete all personalizations for the user you are testing with. I once successfully messed up my Personalization with conflicting entries there...
best regards, Lukas

Logitech mouse right click relaunching Finder

I have been having a problem with any and all of my Logitech devices on my MacPro. Every once in a while (I hate every once in a while stuff!!) when I right click when I am in Finder or in a regular window on the desktop, the Finder re-launches immediately. This happens as soon as I right click, but only, it seems, when the machine has sat idle for 10 or more minutes. It can happen a few times a day. It resets any open Finder windows to the default home folder. In all programs, the right click works perfectly as it should.
The Apple mighty mouse doesn't do this at all, but two LX7's, my MX700, and MX1000, along with an old wired Logitech mouse I have all do the same thing. I have tried dumping the logitech prefs, uninstalling the control software and reinstalling it after a restart, using the factory default settings, and it still happens. The only thing I can relate it to is that it seems to have started when I tested out a Logitech keyboard on this machine, but then went back to my Apple board. I have also done a system reinstall since, and the problem is still there. Any suggestions that might help me nail this thing?

I see what you are getting at now, but the same mouse (and for that matter all the other Logitech mouses) work fine on my laptop and wife's iMac using the same LCC and mac OS (intel and ppc).
It has to be some level of command conflict between the OS and the LCC, but what and why only on this one computer, and what can be done to remedy it. Yes , if you only use the Mac OS software, there is no problem, but as it is unique to this computer, there is something somewhere that is causing this. The question is "what can I purge/change" to correct this. It could be in the LCC, it could be in the OS.
Thanks; Rick

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse - right click works for a while and then stops...

I recently bought a wireless Mighty Mouse, installed all the supplied software and paired it with my Macbook Pro. I've set up the right click as Secondary button and have been using it without any problems.
Then recently I've noticed that after using it for a while (in general applications like Aperture, Firefox etc), the right click will perform a Primary (left) click instead. Even if I take my hand completely off the mouse and click on the right side, it will perform a left click function. If I switch the Mighty Mouse off and back on, it starts to work normally again.
Is this a general issue with these mice? Or is mine just faulty? I can't see that it's a hardware fault as it returns to normal when I turn off/on the mouse. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

My new MacBook Pro and Wireless MM just arrived Friday and I spent Saturday transferring files from my PB G4 and installing Parallels/WinXP.
My Mighty Mouse worked fine initially, but then the Right Click (Secondary) reverted to Left Click (Primary). I reversed the settings to a "Left-handed" setup, the settings stuck. But the right button would not hold a Secondary setting.
I then paired the PB G4's Wireless Mighty Mouse (that I've had for several months) with the MacBook Pro - same issue surfaced. Both mice work consistently as represented with the PowerBook AND my IOGear bluetooth mouse works perfectly with both the PB and MBP (although the Mouse Preference Pane that comes up for the IOGear mouse is a reduced feature set that does not allow any additional button programning.)
I think it's a Preference Pane code issue. If the others who have posted here have ALSO installed Parallels, then the Parallels tools may be creating conflicts.

Fixed right-click issue in Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop crash

Not sure where to post this, so I also started this new Topic...
I have to share this somewhere...
I've been dealing this problem for months and I finally fixed it on my own.
My Antivirus, AVG, which is great, except for this glitch, was the root cause of the issue.
History: If I right-clicked a file in my Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop (CS6 Extended) would crash.. for the last few months, actually... If I avoided right-clicking I'm ok, but my instincts are to organize, rename, etc. while in the save/open pop-up window ... So I've often crashed Photoshop when all I do is right-click on a file in the list of files...
Well, I figured out the cause of the glitch:
"Permanently Shred with AVG” .. this option, added without my knowledge during an AVG update, was added around the same time this problem started (realizing this in hindsight).. THIS was conflicting with my Adobe Photoshop file explorer window in the Save/Open dialogue!!! After months of trying to figure this out, this is definitely the solution.
Once I turned that AVG Shell Extenstion off.... I am now able to right-click files in Photoshop save/open pop-up window again without it crashing… finally !!!!
...hope this helps folks even if it's just a related clue to other issues....
Basically ,run command prompt as Administrator, then type:
For 32-bit : regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
For 64-bit: regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
I found this info about turning off "Permanently Shred with AVG" option at this link: http://techdows.com/2013/09/avg-2014-how-to-remove-permanently-shred-with-avg-option-from- context-menu.html

Right-clicking on desktop brings up settings of another environment

I'm using Gnome right now, but when I right-click on the desktop to change the settings, what comes up is actually Cinnamon's.

I've noticed that some of cinnamon's settings affect gnome as well, so whenever you use cinnamon, the settings applied there may or may not also modify the settings in your gnome desktop, that's probably how desktop icons got enabled in gnome in the first place, the same thing happened to me some time ago, if you don't mind having to fiddle with the settings each time you change desktop environments you can keep both, otherwise I would recommend that you only keep one, cinnamon conflicts with gnome a lot.
