Right click menu doesn't work

(This issue has been ongoing for several versions now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and tried safe mode.)
The right click menu, '''within the menu bar drop down menus''', disappears as soon as I move the mouse. Making it impossible to select anything from it.
'''For example:''' I click "Bookmarks" in the menu bar and get a drop down window of all my bookmarks. I then mouse over a bookmark and right click to get the drop down menu that will let me "Open", "Open in new Window", "Open in new Tab", etc...
As soon as I move the mouse, this menu disappears. I cannot mouse over it to make a selection.
If I don't move the mouse I can use the arrow keys to make a selection and then hit enter.

This solution worked for me (Dell E6320 laptop running Firefox 5 on Windows 7 Pro) immediately:
Go to Options > Advanced > General and uncheck the "Use hardware acceleration when available"
I found it here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/764278#question-reply
It's a pity that you might be slowing the rendering somewhat, but the tradeoff is well-worth it...

    I have been talking to Apple support about this very problem. So far they have asked me to disable both Firewall and Anti Virus software (Windows Firewall and ESAT NOD32 anti virus) - this didn't work. Rebuild my library - this didn't work. Un-install all Apple applications and re-install - this didn't work. I have created a second user account on my PC and from that account (both accounts set as Administrator) I can activate Genius. This suggests to me that the problem is possibly linked to my original User Account, which is the one I always use. I am waiting for the next update from Apple and will post an update if/when the problem is resolved.
    What I also notice is about 2 seconds in to Step 2 of the Genius activation, the progress diagonal lines bar stops, and then starts again. As soon as I see this short freeze I know that the activation will fail.

  • SQL Developer: Right-click format doesn't work right with DATE datatype

    Hi All!
    Currently I'm using version SQL Developer Version 3.1.05.
    Got a question regarding the 'auto-format' of syntax whenever writing in the code editor.
    If you take this snippet of code and drop it into a worksheet, then highlight it, right click the mouse, then select "format" it's like it fails to add the proper spacing when it runs into the DATE datatype. I looked all through the : preferences > database > sql formatter > oracle formatting > edit and couldn't find anything regarding the formatting with date types.
    Am I looking in the wrong area?? Is this a known bug? Having trouble searching for this exact issue too. I LOVE the format feature, but I hate having to go to each date type and manually spacing it out to make everything look 'clean'. I'm picky I guess :P I can live with it but figured I'd ask.

    Hello,
    I put 3.1.07 as you'd suggested. Seems the problem is still occuring for me... probably a user preference though ;)
    Open a new worksheet and drop this in, highlight everything, right-click and choose "format". All the keywords (varchar2, number, etc) should align on themselves making it look nice. I have mine set up to line-break after a comma. (I can't get it to format properly as I type it here onto the forums, so added a bunch of spaces to try to mimic it in this view)

    Now, let's add another field in there, but this time a date/timestamp datatype. If you format it like this you will see that the keywords sort of 'reset' their position after it encounters a date/timestamp datatype. The date type doesn't align properly with the others.

  • Mouse right-click function doesn't work in Bookmarks (Mac)

    I recently switched from PCs to Macs. No problem downloading Firefox and transferring old bookmarks and other settings, with one exception. With the PCs, when I right-clicked a particular bookmark under Bookmarks I got a series of 12 options (from Open, Open in New Window to Delete, Sort by Name, Properties). I used these a lot to delete bookmarks, change names, alphabetize lists, etc. I can now do most of these things under the Manage Bookmarks setting, but when I right click bookmarks now the new bookmark I click on just replaces the one on screen (ie, the right click does exactly what the left click does). I am using two different mice (Apple Mighty Mouse with Leopard, Microsoft Wheel Mouse with Tiger) and the right click function behaves as expected in other programs. Are these mouse right click Bookmark functions supposed to appear with the Firefox for Mac? If so, any ideas how to resolve my problem?

    Can someone explain to me why it's possible in Chrome on Mac, but not on Firefox? This is my 2nd biggest complaint about FF on the Mac, only surpassed by missing favicons in bookmarks. Chrome does both very well.

  • DVD menu doesn't work right in DVD players

    I've created a DVD in Encore for Mac.  It plays fine on my Mac and on Windows.  However, once it is inserted into a stand alone DVD player, the menu doesn't work right.  I have four text menus.  In the DVD player, none of those are navigable.  Arrowing up or down doesn't work.  You have to click a number on the remote keypad and then play. This also causes "Channel 1" or "Channel 2" and so on to display.  Any ideas how I can get the arrow keys to work?  I don't have a stand alone dvd player to test against.
    Also, in Windows, I have someone that wants to duplicate the dvd.  They're using Movie Maker.  It gives an error that the codec is not installed but doesn't say which codec.  Any ideas on that?

    The only time I recall similar problems was the issue Jeff was asking about above (Mac, Encore CS3, certain OS).  If you don't solve this otherwise, I'd experiment with that.
    You appear to have confirmed that there is button navigation.  (In button routing, each button points to another.)  Where does it break down?
    On the Mac/PC, are you using the mouse?  In the computer DVD software player, there should be a "remote" that you can use to see if the button navigation is working.  Does the computer "remote" option work?  If so, it makes it not working in a standalone player even odder.
    If not, then look at whether the project works before you burn to disk.  Does the "remote" work in the Encore preview?  Or build to a folder, then play the DVD from the folder.  (I don't know how on Mac; on PC, I find the first .ifo in the VIDEO_TS folder, and play that.)

  • Copying a table with the right-click menu in schema browser fails to copy comments when string has single quote(s) (ascii chr(39))

    Hi,
    I'm running 32-bit version of SQL Developer v. 3.2.20.09 build 09.87, and I used the built in context menu (right-clicking from the schema browser) today to copy a table.  However, none of the comments copied.  When I dug into the PL/SQL that the menu-item is using, I realized that it fails because it doesn't handle single quotes within the comment string.
    For example, I have a table named WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT that I wanted to copy as WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 (within same schema name)
    1. I right-clicked on the object in the schema browser and selected Table > Copy...
    2. In the pop-up Copy window, I entered the new table name "WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1" and ticked the box for "Include Data" option.  -- The PL/SQL that the menu-command is using is in the "SQL" tab of this window.  This is what I extracted later for testing the issue after the comments did not copy.
    Result: Table and data copied as-expected, but no column or table comments existed.
    I examined the PL/SQL block that the pop-up window issued, and saw this:
    declare
      l_sql varchar2(32767);
      c_tab_comment varchar2(32767);
      procedure run(p_sql varchar2) as
      begin
         execute immediate p_sql;
      end;
    begin
    run('create table "BI_ETL".WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 as select * from "BI_ETL"."WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT" where '||11||' = 11');
    select comments into c_tab_comment from sys.all_TAB_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and comments is not null;
    run('comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '||''''||c_tab_comment||'''');
    for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
        loop
       for c in (select comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
       loop
       run ('comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''');
    end loop;
    end loop;
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
    end;
    The string of the table comment on WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT is this:
    WBIG table of frozen, point-in-time snapshots of Enrolled Students by Category/term/pidm. "Category" is historically, and commonly, our CENSUS snapshot; but, can also describe other frequencies, or categorizations, such as: End-of-Term (EOT), etc. Note: Prior to this table existing, Census-snapshots were stored in SATURN.SNAPREG_ALL. All FALL and SPRING term records prior-to-and-including Spring 2013 ('201230') have been migrated into this table -- EXCEPT a few select prior to Fall 2004 (200410) records where there are duplicates on term/pidm. NO Summer snapshots existed in SNAPREG_ALL, but were queried and stored retroactively (including terms prior to Spring 2013) for the purpose of future on-going year-over-year analysis and comparison.
    Note the single quotes in the comment: ... ('201230')
    So, in the above PL/SQL line 11 grabs this string into "c_tab_comment", but then line 12 fails because of the single quotes.  It doesn't know how to end the string because the single quotes in the string are not "escaped", and this messes up the concatenation on line 12.  (So, then no other column comments are created either because the block throws an error, and goes to line 22 for the exception and exits.)
    When I modify the above PL/SQL as my own anonymous block like this, it is successful:
    declare
      c_tab_comment VARCHAR2(32767);
    begin
    SELECT REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) INTO c_tab_comment FROM sys.all_TAB_comments WHERE owner = 'BI_ETL'   AND table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT'  AND comments IS NOT NULL;
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '''||c_tab_comment||'''';
    for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
        loop
       for c in (select REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
       loop
       EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''';
    end loop;
    end loop;
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
    end;
    On lines 4 and 8 I wrapped the "comments" from sys.all_tab_comments and sys.all_col_comments with a replace command finding every chr(39) and replacing with chr(39)||chr(39). (On line 8 I also had to alias the wrapped column as "comments" so line 10 would succeed.)
    Is this an issue with SQL Developer? Is there any chance that the menu-items can handle single quotes in comment strings? ... And, of course this makes me wonder which other context menu commands in the tool might have a similar issue.
    Thoughts?
    thanks//jacob

    I know about quick drop, but it isn't helpful here. I want to be able to right click on a string or array wire, navigate to the string or array palette, and select the corresponding "Empty?" comparator. In this case, since I do actually know where those functions live, and I'm already using my mouse to right click on the wire, typing ctrl-space to open quick drop and then typing in the function name is actually more work than navigating to it in the palette. It would just be nice to have it on hand in the location I naturally go to look for it the first time. 
    I don't agree with this work flow.  Right hand on mouse, left hand on home keys.  Pressing CTRL + Space is done with the left hands, and then you could assign "ea" to "Empty Array" both of which is accessible with the left hand.  Darren posted a bunch of great shortcuts for the right handed developer.

    This is much faster than waiting for any right click menu navigation, even if it is found in the suggested subpalette.

  • Right-click menu not showing certain options?

    When I highlight text, and right-click, it used to show options such as "Search Google for '(the highlighted text)'", or "Open Link in New Tab" if the text was a URL. Now, it shows none of these options, or copy, paste, cut, delete, select all, and others. I have a picture '''[http://i.imgur.com/q9N00.png here]''' as an example, and this is seriously annoying me, as the searching for highlighted text was one of my most used features. I've used multiple add-ons that edit the right-click menu, but none of them have worked.
    Any ideas on how I can get it back to normal? Thanks.

  • How to display a seperate right click menu for each item of a tree control?

    Hi I want to display a specific right click menu when a particular tree item is selected. I know how to create a menu and how to display it. I am using the function GetLabelFromIndex() to get the active tree item and then compare the label and based on the result display a manu for that item. Now my problem is that when I use the above function in the EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK it gives me the error "the Index passed is out of range" while using the same function with the same arguments in EVENT_SELECTION_CHANGE it gives no error...below is the part of my code
    case EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK:
    GetLabelFromIndex(panelHandle, PANEL_TREE, eventData2, label1);
    //The function gives the stated error here
    if(eventData1)//after it I compare the result and display the menu
    case EVENT_SELECTION_CHANGE:
    GetLabelFromIndex (panelHandle, PANEL_TREE, eventData2, label1);
    //The function works fine here
    if (eventData1)
     If any one have any idea whats going on or alternate way of doing this Please share knowledge...Thanks
    If you are young work to Learn, not to earn.

    Hi,
    one possible approach of solving this problem is looking closer at the error message: The error "the Index passed is out of range" tells you that something is wrong with the index, either it is too small or too large So why don't you set a breakpoint and check the index value, it might be useful information...
    The other hint is to check the meaning of eventdata2 (using the help): It is different for different events! For the event_right_click it gives the horizontal mouse position, not the index as event_selection_change does...

  • Removing "Open With [Program]" from Right-Click menu

    I was looking around for Applications that could play .avi files and I found Perian  so decided to install it. After installing it I quickly found that it didn't work with all of my .avi files and after some further reading realized that Perian is no longer supported and apparently does not work with QT 10. I decided to uninstall it and use VLC player instead. After uninstalling Perian and removing it from the "System Properties" it looks like it's still showing up in the right-click menu for .avi files.
    My question is how do I remove this from being an option whenever I right-click an .avi file? Perian is no longer installed and I don't want to see it as an option.
    Thanks in advance

    This is probably because all the associated files have not been removed and it is still in the LaunchServices cache. To be sure you remove all associated files may require re-installing the app and using AppCleaner  to trash it and it's supporting files.
    Then, you may also need to clear LaunchServices caches
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the prompt to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • HT201403 It would be very helpful for Apple to re-instate the view as icon option for a pdf file in an email on the right click menu? As far as I can see no easy way for a basic user to get this back?

    Would be great for Apple to reinstate the pdf as icon in mail - but using the right click menu. It seems to have gone - and as a basic user there seems to be no simple solution - I used the rich/plain text swap but it didn't work...
    Apple - we need you to solve!

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    It's highly doubtful that Apple will change this in Mac OS X 10.7 since that OS version has now been discontinued for quite some time. Whether they will change that in OS X 10.9 or a future version I can't say.
    If this is a serious issue for you, you can look into Attachement Tamer:

    It's not free, but it addresses much more than the issue of PDFs appearing as images, not icons, so it might be worth the price.

  • Run time prompts not appearing when launching BR from a right click menu

    Hi!
    I have a problem when trying to launch a business rule from a right click menu which is assigned to a dataform.
    The rule launches but does not show/ask for the run time prompts as it should do. The run-time prompts should not be hidden (I checked also Eas and data form selections).
    When using the rule form the Tools-Business Rules menu, the rule works fine. It prompts for the required variables and as they are filled in, the rule does what it is expected to.
    Also, when using the same rule attached into a form (and selected "use members on form"&"run on save") the rule works correctly.
    We are using version 11.1.2.1.
    I already have tried restarting Planning services but without success.
    What might cause this?
    kind regards,

    Hi!
    I found out from the Oracle knowledge base:
    This issue is caused by unpublished Bug 11064867 - RIGHT CLICK MENUS NOT RENDERING RUN TIME PROMPTS
    In version 931 run time prompts worked correctly when launching them from a right click menu, I checked this out.
    In our current version I got this working (this is kind of a workaround) by adding a new RTP variable (using the same dimension as the original RTP variable). This way I got the rule to "ask for more information" (like what were you asking for? ) and not running the rule without interruptions. This instruction was given in Oracle support (knowledge base).
    kind regards,
    user637777
