Right-click contextual menu appearance

This is an odd one. Not serious, but I'd like to find out why.
We have two new Macbook Air's. One has the standard configuration, the other the higher spec CPU & Ram. When the lower spec version right-clicks on the desktop using a two finger tap, the menu appear instantly. When the higher spec version does this, it takes between 0.25 and 0.5 second to appear. As I said, not a deal breaker, but why the difference? They both have similar things running in the background, similar things in the menu bar? Very little CPU being used, etc. Geekbench puts the higher spec one 1000 points better off so regardless of what background process is running it shouldn't make this kind of difference anyway. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to how I might ascertain what's causing the hold-up?

This UI change is really stupid and useless. People got used to some specified menu items order. Changing this order could only annoy and anger.
Also the reload button has been relocated. This is another example of stupid Firefox 4 UI change. The good news is that it could easily be relocated to its original place.
It looks like the Firefox developers are suffering from idleness and boredom.
CHANGE IT BACK ASAP!!!

A way to change right click contextual menu?

Is there a way to change the right click contextual menu, so the first item is open in tabs? I use tabs more than windows, and in Chrome, the tabs option is 1st and not 2nd.

i have no reason to use the right click option so want to remove it. i am running vista ultimate 64 bit.
i am quite able to edit ofr delete aregistry line but searched throughout regedit and can't find it.
search on this forum turned up nothing... hard to believe no one asked this before on the forum.
google turned up a blank also.
thanx
Hi chevysales,
The logic is wrong. Go into Network Magic Options. On the General Tab, make sure that the following are not checked:
Do not add Network Magic Folders icon to Open/Save dialogs
Do not add commands to Explorer shortcut menus
Click OK and reboot the computer and see if gone.

Right-click contextual menu in Firefox 4: Is there a way to move/remove "Open in new tab?"

I don't really like tabbed browsing, but "Open in new tab" is the first choice in the right-click contextual menu. I would like to have "Open in new window" be the first choice.
So is there a way to edit the contextual menu to change the order of menu items or delete them entirely?
Thanks in advance.

T40's Left Shift key makes right click/context menu appear?

Hello All-
On my T40, on which I just recently got Windows 7 correctly installed, has a curious behavior:
When I press the left shift key, it functions the same as if I had pressed the right mouse button. It functions correctly otherwise, I.E., when using it to capitolize a letter in an email, the letter is capitolized, but as soon as I let go of the shift key, the right click/context menu immediately appears.
This is exceedingly irritating, as I cannot continue typing until I have navigated out of the menu.
I have checked to see if the Keyboard Customiser utility is causing this, as I currently have my left Alt key functioning as a Windows button, but it does not appear to be causing this particular issue.
Does anyone have any idea how I might go about fixing this?
Thanks in advance,
G
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nevermind-
Had the keyboard customizer set to use the left shfit key as the application key. Duh.

Right-Click/Contextual Menu Hang

Hi, for maybe a week now, Logic Pro 8 has been hanging every time I've right-clicked for about 30 seconds (every single time). I constantly check Console for any error messages, but nothing comes up, and I have no clue as to what the problem might be. Any help with troubleshooting or finding a solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I just started getting something similar on most pop-up menus in Logic Pro 8.0.2. It started with channel strip preset menus, but today I was getting it on channel inputs, plug-in preset menus and eventually even on insert effect menus and the Esc tool box! I click, nothing for 3-4 seconds, then a spinning beach ball for about 18-20 seconds more, then the menu comes up like nothing happened.
Nothing in Console here either. Activity Monitor shows one of my 8 CPU's peg to 100% during the lag. I have tried getting rid of two plug-ins I installed in the last month, verified all fonts and yanked the one I installed recently, repaired permissions, and cleared all caches using Onyx. Many full reboots. Everything is up to date.
Everything else works and plays perfectly, but this is seriously killing my happy flow. What the heck changed recently? QuickTime 7.5? Pro App 2008-02?

Right click context menu does not appear only for Java 1.7, AWT TextField

I have been debugging some issues that an application has been having with Java 1.7 versus older versions. A new problem I have encountered is that the right click context menu does not function in any TextField. It works fine when running/compiling it with any previous version of Java. I have tried coding a simple test with a Frame, Panel and TextField to see if it might be something else in the more complex application that was causing it, but the simple test class has the same problem.
I have searched for other people having the same issue, but I have not found anything comparable. This seems like a huge change from one version to the next and I am surprised that I am not finding this mentioned anywhere else. Can someone point me to anything that discusses this issue that I am having? Does 1.7 require I implement my own context menu? I realize AWT is old technology, but this is an old, fairly complex application that doesn't use swing, and that is not going to change at this point.
My simple test:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
class testF3 extends Panel
public static void main(String args[])
    Frame f = new Frame();
    Panel p = new Panel();
    f.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    f.add("North", p);
    TextField tf1 = new TextField("", 20);
    p.add(tf1);
    Dimension medm = f.getSize();
    medm.height = 100;
    medm.width = 200;
    f.setSize(medm);
    f.setVisible(true);
}

In the past few days since upgrading to 4.0.4, the entire right-click context menu for links is gone and replaced with one item: "Copy Link" The "Open In New Tab" item, along with some other context items, is no longer there.
That's actually a problem with your particular installation of Safari, b. I've got all the contextual menu entries with my 4.0.4.
I helped fix one of these recently here at the forum. Try the procedure from the following post (it got back Tho's missing contextual menu entries):

How do I fix the right-click context menu; it has blank entries and shows no selectable options?

recently I have noticed that my right-click context menu looks like it has no entries. It shows up on a right-click, but the whole menu is blank. On further investigation there are scroll buttons on the top and bottom of the menu and if I hover over the up buttom eventually the normal context commands scroll down from above. I noticed this first a few days ago, shortly after the download of 3.6.13. Today I also noticed that some of my menu bars were showing a similar issue with blank entries in the menus. In one case the menu also didn't register where the mouse was, highlighting a command several steps further up.
Is this something to do with the new Mozilla or something else? I only run a couple of addons, Ad Block Plus and Tab Mix Plus. Can try to capture a screen shot of the issue, but difficult since the menu dissapears when I try to do a screen grab!
All help is much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the quick response!
While trying to find info on how to fix this I looked up some context menu addons for FF and tried one. It didn't work so I uninstalled it and after that everything was back to normal. Odd, but there you have it. I still don't know what went wrong in the first place but for the moment it appears to have cleared up.
Next time though I will try loading into Safe Mode if I find any issues (I forgot there was one!).
Thanks for getting back to me again.

"Save link as" in Right-click Context menu is not working properly.

Firefox 17: In a Google search, when I right click on a .pdf link, the popup window automatically gives a "url" filename and "Firefox Document" as filetype. Previously, the filename would be whatever it was on the website (ie. "filename.pdf") and the filetype would be "Adobe Acrobat Document".
I know this problem has less to do with Firefox and more to do with JavaScript, because the problem disappears if you disable JavaScript (Tools -- Options -- Content -- uncheck "Enable JavaScript"). What's happening is that JavaScript is somehow altering the link from a purely .pdf link to something else -- perhaps encasing the link inside a set of commands, and the computer is trying to save the command string instead of recognizing the link for what it is. When JavaScript is disabled in Google searches, the highlighted "[PDF]" link no longer appears in front of the link itself, and the "Save link as" function on the right-click works properly.
Any JavaScript junkies want to try their hand at creating a workaround? One that ensures that the reference created by the right-click context menu matches exactly what the filename is for the website?

The problem is that Google has an onmousedown attribute added to the links that modify a link if you click or right-click a result link to make the link point to a safe browsing check on the Google server.<br />
You can see that if you hover a link and you will notice that after you have (right) click a link the the URL changes to www.google.com/url?xxxxx.
You can use this bookmarklet to remove the onmousedown attributes.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('*[id="search"] a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

Right-Click context menu is gone

Using Windows 7, Safari 4.0.4. I noticed recently that when I right-click on a link, I saw the link context menu and I used to be able to select "Open in new tab" This was great to use the mouse only to navigate, open new tabs, and surf around...using just the mouse.
In the past few days since upgrading to 4.0.4, the entire right-click context menu for links is gone and replaced with one item: "Copy Link" The "Open In New Tab" item, along with some other context items, is no longer there.
To be honest, this is pretty useless. If I'm only using the mouse, then this means that I have to:
1. Right Click on a link, select Copy Link
2. Right click in the tab bar and select "New Tab"
3. Click in the address bar of the new tab to select the field
4. Right-click in the address bar and select paste
5. And now I'm still having to use the keyboard to submit the address as there is no "Go" button for the address bar.
I know I can just Ctrl + Click a link to open in a new tab, but that requires the keyboard and the mouse.
I'm all for simple interfaces, but why did you take away the link's right-click context menu? It made surfing and opening tabs so easy using just the mouse.

My right click context menu flickers and is not viewable - Help? (Not due to addons, as I dont have any)

Running the latest version, with Win7, all menus including right click contextual, and menu bars flicker and disappear. THe menu is still there, just not readable. Have read about possible Addon problems, but thats impossible, since I have zero Addons and the only extensions are default nVidia ones (yes, I've tried disabling those, and it still happens). Can anyone/anything help fix this crap?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Magic wand no right click (pc) menu

magic wand tool no longer has the right click (pc) sub menu, i have to change to the quick selection tool in order to acess the sub menu to deselect or layer via copy etc? is anyone else having the same issue?

Did you upgrade to Ps CC 14.2? I can confirm that the right click context menu does not appear with the magic wand tool on Windows 7 64-bit with the latest upgrade. There may be other surprises.
Another posting here also complains about right clicks missing context menus. More confirmed right click context menu issues on Windows here.
(Advice to the wise and wary: never be the first to upgrade; let others find the bugs.)

Is there any way to prevent the right click context menu from combining Stop/Reload?

Is there any way (about:config tweak, or something) to prevent the right click context menu from combining Stop/Reload?
Screenshot of what I'm talking about: http://picsend.net/images/873089StupidReloadSto.png

I did try the add-on ''Menu Editor'' https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ but even when I separate the navigation reload and stop icons and explicitly have both stop and reload set to be visible on the right click context menu I only get the one option showing.
Whilst there may be some way of changing this I do not know how to and I do not really see any use case for making such a change. Only one option of the choice: stop or reload, is available at any instance in time, but that is the option you are able to use, the other option is not active and so is not displayed.

Hi
Theoretically it could be done by modify registry. For example you could
modify right click menu on .exe file by changing values under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\
However there are some problems that I cannot define that what kind of “file”
the network computer is.
And I found no article specific to this.
If you really need to restore your context menu and also need this update, I
suggest you uninstall this update first. Then back up your registry, install it
again. This time using process monitor you could record all registry modifications during
this update installation. It might take lots of work.
I tried to do that for you, unfortunately this update has been deployed in our environment which cannot be uninstalled from update history.

Is it possible to add a button to the right-click context menu for a user in Outlook 2010 using VBA?

I've tried many things and read up quite a bit but I cannot figure this out.
I cannot create an add-in so I have to use VBA.
I want to add a a button to the right-click context menu when I right-click on a user. Is this possible?

Hello,
Yes, it is possible to customize the context menu in Outlook. See
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010 for more information.
But VBA doesn't allow to customize the Fluent UI in Outlook, you need to develop an add-in instead.
