Right clicking selection gives nothing

So to make this short, I can use the pen tool to create a shape, then by right clicking it I can decide what I want to do with it. When I click "Make selection" I've selected the shape, but when I right click it again in order to find out what I want to do with that shape, it doesn't let me do anything. Everything grayed out. Normally I'd have the option to copy to layer or copy to cut but nothing.
Looks like this

I can see that you have made a shape with the Pen tool. You have right clicked and cosen Selection, but you must have specified a high Feather value because the selection only covers a small part of the shape, (the matching ants indicate 50% opacity).
From there, you would take other routes to achieve what you mention. Ctrl j would copt the selection to a new layer, for instance, but that layer will have a heavily feathered outline. You should still have some options if you right click again, but useful as right clicking can be, it doesn't cover everything.

Drag it to the trash icon in your dock. This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

Allow right-click selection in a JTree

Hi everybody! How are today? Fine? I hope so.
I've got a little question about JTrees: i want to put a right-click popup menu on my JTree, which may not be the same depending on which node of the tree is selected.
My problem is that i must do a left click selection of the node before doing the right click in order that this one may be effective and correct (i.e the correct popup menu appears).
So, i want to allow the right click selection in my JTree to select the node and to perform the action linked to the Popup menu.
I will be very thankfull if someone could help me :)

Sorry to post twice, but just thought i'd post the code to show you what I mean (forgive me not making this entirely generic):
///// Some "global" variables:
     private JPopupMenu               stPopupMenu;
     private TreePath               stPath;
     private String                    stPathComponent;
     private int                         stCount;
     private Object                    selectedNode;
///// Attaching the listeners:
symbolTreeDisplay.addTreeSelectionListener(stHandler);
symbolTreeDisplay.addMouseListener(stHandler);
//// The event listener class:
     private class SymbolTreeHandler extends MouseAdapter implements
               TreeSelectionListener
          public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
               try
                    if (event.getModifiers() == event.BUTTON3_MASK)
                    {//right button click on mouse
                         stPopupMenu = new JPopupMenu();
                         // add your logic here, based on selectedNode to add items to the menu
                         stPopupMenu.show(symbolTreeDisplay, event.getX(), event
                                   .getY());
               catch (Exception e)
          public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent aTreeEvent)
               try
                    stPath = aTreeEvent.getPath();
                    stCount = stPath.getPathCount();
                    selectedNode = stPath.getPathComponent(stCount - 1);
               catch (Exception e)

Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing

I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
How can I fix this?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Right click select node in tree (for a standalone Air app)?

For the sake of userfriendliness (in regard to a context menu) I wold like to "move" the selected node in a tree to the node that currently has the focus when right clicking it - like how the context menu access in windows file explorer works (focus and selected item are always the same when right clicking).
In worst case scenario I would like to disable a created context menu if the selected node and the node that currently has the focus are not the same).
Now users can get confused when right clicking to access my context menu, in the tree structure, if the selected node and the node they are currently hovering over (and thus are in focus) are different.
I was thinking of finding which node currently has the focus and then making that node the selected node - but I cant get it to work:-).
Please, help a beginner.

Right click selection issue

I am using HP Laptop with window 8.1.
The right click button on the keyboard is not available so till the time I was using mouse for the right click.
Now I install Hotkeys software & configure right Alt button of the keyboard as a right click button.
It is working fine means whenever I clicked on the right Alt it is working as a right click, this is helpful in excel specially.
But after this I am facing a new issue, this issue is when I using excel or word.
When I move the cursor & select any cell with the mouse & then click on right alt it work properly.
But after the selection from the mouse if I change the location by using arrow keys of the keyboard the location get changed but after changing the selection when I click on right Alt button the right click options open for the cell which was selected by
the mouse.
Hope it is clear.
Example- If I select A5 location in excel by mouse & then goes right with keyboard right click on C5 location, the selection goes to the desired location, but if now I click on right Alt to open the options the cursor automatically opened the properties
of A5 instead of C5.
Here I clicked by mouse on A5 & moves to C5 by keyboard.
Please help.
This is not an issue of scroll lock.

Bug in right click selection in reports

Build 22.71, on Linux and Windows.
When I go to, for example, the sessions report, and right click on a row which I want to invoke a trace session command on, the whole column where I right clicked get selected, so it does not correctly indicate to the user which session will have trace enabled on.

Add mouselistener:
MouseListener ml = new MouseAdapter() {
      public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
         if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e)) {
           doSomething();
      }//mousePressed
      public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
        if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e)) {
          doSometing();
      }//mouseReleased
    };//mouseListener
    myList.addMouseListener(ml);

Right-click/select on trackpad not working

Hi
Basically the "right click" option on my trackpad has stopped working, I can't highlight sections of text or images, can't click and drag any items and can't resize windows or images. I'm going crazy does anyone know what's wrong? I called Apple and they didn't really help with anything, I've reset my preferences to default but no luck!
I can scroll with two/three/four fingers fine it's just when I want to click with two that nothing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

01/04/14 Update: I've updated all SW (BIOS, UltraNav Driver and Utility, latest Win7 updates) but right button still won't work. Ran the PC Doctor diags for the UltraNav and it shows the right button highlighted constantly (as opposed to it blinking on/off when button is processed like the the left button does).

Stopping right click selecting tab in JTabbedPane

Hello all,
This may be a really simple thing + I'm probably being thick, but is there a way to prevent a right click changing the selected tab on a JTabbedPane.
I tried consuming the MouseEvent, but that didn't seem to work. Couldn't find an answer anywhere else in the forums & couldn't see anything in the JavaDoc that looked as if it would help.
Answers on a postcard please......

You might be able to extend JTabbedPane and override setSelectedIndex().
I had to do this to work around a focus issue I had.
This class extends JTabbedPane to correct a problem where it doesn't
request focus when clicked on.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MyJTabbedPane extends JTabbedPane {
public void setSelectedIndex(int index) {
    Component comp = KeyboardFocusManager.
        getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getFocusOwner();
    // if no tabs are selected
    // -OR- the current focus owner is me
    // -OR- I request focus from another component and get it
    // then proceed with the tab switch
    boolean noTabSelected = getSelectedIndex()==-1;
    boolean hasFocus = requestFocus(false);
    boolean compIsMe = comp==this;
    if(noTabSelected || hasFocus || compIsMe) {
      super.setSelectedIndex(index);
}

Every time Firefox opened

Hello.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
Also, remember that you can simply middle-click any link or interface button to open it in a new tab. Middle-click is the mouse wheel, just press it down. Or the middle button of the mouse, if you have one of those. Of course, there may only be two keys, and middle-click may be impossible, but just so you know, middle-clicking links is the faster way, and how everyone does it, basically.

Right-click multiple JTable rows at once?

Hi everyone,
Haven't posted for a while but I've been trawling through Google and these forums looking for anyone who has implemented a JTable that allows the user to right-click multiple rows after selecting the multiple rows with a left-click. Currently the JTable allows multiple rows to be selected (MULTIPLE_SELECTION policy enabled) yet when you right-click on any of the highlighted rows it only right-clicks on the one out of the group you happened to click on and deselects all the other previously selected rows. Does anyone know of a way of enabling the right-click of multiple items (new listener or just a simple parameter change?)
Any help would be much appreciated.

I just have a mouse listener which, on a right-click, selects the row if it's not currently selected and does nothing if the row is already selected; then pops up the menu.

Right click on datagrid question

Hi guys
I'm trying to get the columnIndex on a right click on a datagrid, so that I can use it when I select an item from my custom contextMenu.
Currently...
data_grid.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_ROLL_OVER, dataGridRollOver);
private function dataGridRollOver(event:ListEvent):void    { lastRollOverRow = event.index; lastRollOverColumn = event.columnIndex; }
Then in my contextMenu function, I use lastRollOverRow and lastRollOverColumn
It works fine if I right click, select a contextMenu option, then choose another row and repeat etc...
However, say I right click, decide I've clicked on the wrong column, don't choose anything from the contextMenu, and then my next action is to right click on the correct column - the above event listener doesn't fire again (I presume because the contextMenu has focus), so my vars don't get updated.
Is there a way to give focus back to the DG on a consecutive right click before re-displaying the contextMenu?
I notice I don't need to set up an event listener to catch the right click for the datagrid's contextMenu. Is there something I can change so I can do something first before the contextMenu pops up?
Cheers for your help.

I'm a little confused mate. I thought that was what I already had set up (I forgot to mention that when the datagrid's RIGHT_CLICK function is triggered, I make sure the menu appears a few pixels left and up so that the mouse is over it), but are you saying that during creation, I need to apply a one-off event listener to the grid to initialize things as well as the one I already have that is listening to see if the user rolls off the entire grid: rightClickMENU.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rightClickMenuRollOff); ?
Re-reading my post, maybe I was a bit tired writing it!!! Let me explain a little more clearly:
- mainClass (where my datagrid is) calls and creates new instance of rightClickMENU, then calls a function to do this:
addChild(rightClickMENU);
rightClickMENU.visible = false;
rightClickMENU.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rightClickMenuRollOff);
(rightClickMENU class creates a container movieclip, then a bunch of rollover buttons, and addChilds each button to it's container - so the container is in the rightClickMENU class)
- in mainClass, put this listener on datagrid: rightClickMENU.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rightClickMenuRollOff);
- in mainClass, my roll on /roll off functions do this:
private function showRightClickMenu(event:MouseEvent):void
            var X = event.localX * 4.3015;//default DG width is 272. So set up correct right click position ratio 1170/272 = 4.3015.
            var Y = event.localY * 2.2513;//default DG height is 191
            //with my datagrid pos offset, the coords below end up showing the menu with the mouse about three pixels in from the top corner:
            rightClickMENU.x = X+13; rightClickMENU.y = Y+75;
            rightClickMENU.visible = true;
private function rightClickMenuRollOff(event:MouseEvent):void //menu roll out
            rightClickMENU.visible = false;
Can you please explain a little more what you mean in your post?
