Right-click not working on trackpad
Hello! Yesterday, my Macbook didn't start up properly after falling asleep (not sure why), so I manually shut it off. After it restarted, I noticed that the two-fingered right click wasn't working properly. I can still scroll with two fingers, and I can right-click if I use a mouse. But the trackpad two-fingered click doesn't work.
I've restarted my computer twice, and I've tried turning the two-fingered right click setting on and off in System Preferences. Do you have any advice or suggestions? Thanks!
Hi Cliff,
I'd love to help you out and wanted to upload snapshots of my preferences, but they're in German unfortunately and hence I realised it probably wouldn't help that much.
Anyway, I'm not familiar with boot camp, but these are my settings: In Mission Control i set all Mssion Control, programme windows, view desk and view dashboard to "-" (hope the labelling is somewhat accurate, I'm really not sure about the German-English conversion); and under Trackpad i set secondary click to "click or tap with two fingers". Note, I couldn't have "move with three fingers" activated, too, just as intelligent zoom - "double tip with two fingers".
I reckon this is total amateur talk I'm producing here, it's just what I figured out works for myself If you need more information, I'd be happy to help!
Best wishes,
Lara

Two finger tap right click not working
Is anyone having a problem with two-finger tap to right click? Two-finger tap to right click was working fine for a while, but it suddenly stopped on my Yoga 13.
I reinstalled the touchpad drivers, and it worked for a few days, then it stopped again. Two-finger click still works fine. So does one-finger tap to left click.
Strange....
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi guys,
there´s a new driver_
Synaptics TouchPad Driver

Flex 2 TouchPad Right-Click Not Working After Upgrade
Hi, I recently upgraded my Lenovo Flex 2 (15 inch) notebook from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. After upgrading, the right click button on my touchpad stopped working. Suspecting a driver issue, I uninstalled the driver to allow the default Windows driver to take over. The right-click button started to work again, so it's not a hardware problem. However, the touchpad, in general, became erratic and difficult to use. I then downloaded the latest Lenovo Flex 2 touchpad driver for Windows 10. However, the touchpad returned to the way it was after the upgrade and the right-click button does not work. Please help me with this. I need my laptop to function properly during my travels. Kind regards, Ash
Try a two-finger click.
You can change your secondary click settings here:

Right click not working on BI web report
Hi,
We are facing an issue while working with BI 7.0 on Web.
When we execute a report on the web and right-click anywhere on the characteristics, Menu options-Filter, Change Drilldown, Broadcast & Export etc - are displayed for the first time. After some time when we right click again, the menu options do not appear and even drag and drop does not work.Hi Nisha,
Could you help us with what GUI front end version and patch do u have, What BEx version are u using.
May be you should upgrade you gui to 7.10 and patch 11 or 12, and also install the corresponding BW and BI addOn.
Bim, Let us know what your version of BEX and GUI front end is.

Right Click not working in published output. ??
I'm relatively new to Captivate, and NOT a developer, so please bear with me on this.
I'm recording a training video of a basic application and have a need to use a right-click to bring up a menu. This is a requirement of the app, so I need Captivate to provide the same functionality to avoid confusing the user going through the training video. I have the Click Box options set to Right Click, and it works in the Preview. However, when I Publish the finished video, the right-click does not work - only a left-click will advance to the next slide.
I found a few threads discussing issues with the right-click, but all of them were dealing with permissions issues. I'm saving the output to my desktop (Windows XP) and am launching the HTM file to confirm the video is working properly, so I don't see how a permissions issue would come into play. ?? If it is a permissions issue, how do I fix it within Captivate so that the end user can run this from any PC/MAC, where I have no control of their permissions?
Any suggestions or tips on how to get the right-click working in the final product are greatly appreciated.
DHi there
The right-click function relies on JavaScript. JavaScript may also be influenced by the Flash Security Settings.
Please try what is outlined in the link and see if your right-click suddenly begins working. Also note that you don't need to adjust these settings if you are serving content from a server. You only have to worry about it if you are testing by running from your local C drive.
Cheers... Rick

I usually use the right mouse-button to open the toolbox under the cursor but this doesn't appear to work within the piano-roll edit window in Pro X. Is this the same for everyone? The right-click works in all other windows. Seems pretty odd.
Also is it just me who finds the near-black background very oppressive? I worked in front of Pro X for several hours yesterday and was left wishing I could change the background colour of the main and edit windows. Is there any way to do this?
I also really need to be able to access custom colours for the colour palette as the new palette doen't sit at all well with me. Any ideas anyone? The manual states that if you double-click on a colour it should open the colour editor but it doesn't.....It turns out that if you assign the right button to 'Open Tools and Shortcut Menu', it works in the piano roll. It's obviously a bug which should get ironed out.
The other thing that's driving me nuts though is that when I change tools in the main window, the pointer still appears like an arrow, even though its function has changed. When I pass it over a region, it usually changes to to the correct icon - but not always! Aarghhh I'm going back to Pro 9 for now...... -
Clickpad Right Click not Working Consistantly
I just purchased an HP laptop with a Clickpad and reviewed your documentation for what areas on the pad to use for clicking however I can't seem to get a consistent right click even when I click in the area indicated by the diagram. I can be almost in the bottom right corner of the pad's surface and still get a left click response.
Is there a trick to it I am missing or do I have a dud?Hello Kyraoko,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the right-clicking action on the touchpad, of your notebook, is not working properly. It is likely a hardware issue, to be honest. However, please try the following steps before assuming anything:
1. Tap the upper-left corner of the touchpad a couple of times to turn it off, then turn it on. This is considered resetting the touchpad.
2. Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset is the next step. A hard reset clears driver instructions, recent configurations, etc. This forces the hardware to reread all instructions from the drivers and software stored within Windows.
3. Update the mouse/touchpad driver. These instructions will guide you along the right path:
a. Go to the HP Drivers and Downloads webpage. Enter your computer model number and then click Go .
b. Select your computer model from the list of results.
c. Select your operating system from the drop down menu and then click Next.
d. Scroll down to select the driver category "Driver - Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices".
e. Click the Download button next to the appropriate TouchPad or ClickPad driver. The file downloads to your Downloads folder.
f. Open your Downloads folder and double-click to install the latest driver. Follow on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Source: Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
4. If that doesn't work, we will have to try a more direct approach of reinstalling the mouse driver:
a) Go into Device Manager, then "Mice and other pointing devices".
b) Right-click on the touchpad driver, and select "Uninstall".
c) Restart the computer. This will force a new driver to be written based on the detected hardware.
5. Try connecting a USB mouse to the computer. Test it to see whether or not it is working properly.
If those steps do not help, then I would call HP phone support so they can physically address the hardware of the touchpad. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks for posting, and have a great day!

Mighty Mouse Wireless Right Click not working
Hi Friends!
I am having some difficulty getting my Right Click on my Wireless MM to work. I am aware that I need to keep my left finger off the mouse but it still does not seem to be working.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks !
JTry replacing the battieries (or just taking them out and putting them back in). Forcing the connection between the Mighty Mouse and the iMac to break. Then put the new batteries, or the ones you were you using from before, in the MM.
Re-link the Mighty Mouse to the iMac and try applying the settings for the right click function in System Preferences.
Remember to mark as helpful or solved.

on startup of X I'm now using /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf for configuring my settings. This solved the problem.
I realized by the way that in my former setup no matter how many fingers I used for pressing down the ClickPad it did always perform a normal click in addition. That is why the context menu disappeared right away: It performed a mixture of a right and left click.

Mighty mouse right click not working...
Hi,
I've recently bought my macbook pro in the summer along with a wireless mighty mouse. after working on the computer a while, the right click function stops working! i tried installing the software that comes with the mouse but i get the same results...
any suggestions?
thanks in advance!. Follow the steps for disassembling the MM on many of the web sites until you have the upper shell separated from the base. I found removing the bottom grey ring the easiest method.
2. Inside the upper shell you will see the plastic backed carbon traces used to detect the finger locations. In the centre of the upper shell is also a copper strip adhered to the shell. The plastic traces and the copper shim have a connection through a carbon dot on the shell where there are two holes next to a black carbon dot. I found that there were two issues with my MM that may have caused my issues. The first was that the plastic detectors were not fully adhered and flat on the inner shell. Then I found that the small carbon button which contacts the copper was not fully pressed down. I ran my finger over the entire internal surface of the shell to press down the adhesive bonded parts and then reassembled the mouse.
3. Instead of gluing the bottom grey ring back on the mouse, fit it in place with small sections of 3M invisible tape, over the grey ring and upper case, just in case things go awry again. If they're small enough, you won't see them when the mouse in operation and the case remains securely closed. Once you are sure you have no more problems then you can add a dab or two of superglue to permanently close the case at a later date or still have access to clean the scroll mechanism at a later time as well.
The other outcome might be that my disassembly and reassmbly reseated a poorly contacting cable(s) from the base the the upper shell. Either way, I have a fully functioning right click again in all situations. I have not had to remove the batteries in the mouse for over a week now whereas the power reset was becoming an hourly occurrence previously. -
Mouse Right- Click not working
yes, I firstly checked that the secondary button is set as right click. I disabled it and restarted the computer, but is not working, any ideas?
