Screen Sharing & Spaces : Left/Right Mouse Button Issue

I am using the Spaces and Screen Sharing feature of OS X 10.5.1 on my MBP to connect to my Mac Mini that is currently running OS X 10.4.11. I am able to connect fine and access the Mini without issue. However, if I switch spaces on my MBP to do another activity, and then switch back to my Screen Sharing session with the Mini, I am finding that the left mouse button is acting as the right mouse button. The only way to correct the problem is to terminate the screen sharing session are restart it.
Has anyone else encountered this? Anyone know of a fix?
BTW, the same issue occurs when the Mini is running OX X 10.5.1 so I do not believe it is an issue using two different versions of OS X.

Yes, I have the exact same problem and its frustrating as I am not as familiar with OS/X as I am with Windows.
When I had similar problems with Windows I would shoot explorer.exe from the TaskManager, wait for it to die and then start a new explorer.exe process.
I tried doing the same with OS/X. I sniggled around with mouse clicks and keystrokes until I got the Force-Exit window, highlighted "Finder" and the button would change to "Relaunch".
Another time I tried to solve this was with combinations of either Control, Option or Command and the tilde key ~.
It is frustrating and I want to avoid reboots (why go the Microsoft way?).
Hope this helps (even after months).

DoDragDrop oddity with Right Mouse Button

Hi all,
More experimentation - today with Drag & Drop.
Everything seems fine when performing this with the left mouse button, but when initiating this from WPF
with the right mouse button it appears to trigger the PreviewDrop event on the originating object.
I've tried intercepting QueryContinueDragHandler, which is fired and is having an Action set of Continue - all to no avail.
Much time with google shows no examples of people using the right mouse button with DoDragDrop, and a single query on this forum in September with someone having a similar problem. No replies to that thread - hopeing for more luck today!
So, has anyone successfully initiated a system based Drag/Drop using the right mouse button? In this case I'm working with a ListView, but I suspect that is fairly irrelevant.
Events occuring with Right Mouse Button depressed (and dragging a small way) are:
Call to: System.Windows.DragDrop.DoDragDrop
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDragEnter
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDrop
With the Left Mouse Button:
Call to: System.Windows.DragDrop.DoDragDrop
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDragEnter
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
etc...
Anyone aware of any issues in this area?
Thanks,
Glyn
PS: The behaviour is different if dragging something from another application / desktop to a drop target, so it appears to be related to the originating side of things. ie, there is no problem when dragging an object from the desktop or similar.

Hmm - seem to have found the problem - it is related to the ContinueDragEventHandler!
Here is a suitable handler for dealing with Left & Right mouse button drags
You can activate it using:
DragDrop.AddQueryContinueDragHandler(this, QueryContinueDragHandler);
private void QueryContinueDragHandler(Object source, QueryContinueDragEventArgs e)
    e.Handled = true;
    // Check if we need to bail
    if (e.EscapePressed)
        e.Action = DragAction.Cancel;
        return;
    // Now, default to actually having dropped
    e.Action = DragAction.Drop;
    if ((e.KeyStates & DragDropKeyStates.LeftMouseButton) != DragDropKeyStates.None)
        // Still dragging with Left Mouse Button
        e.Action = DragAction.Continue;
    else if ((e.KeyStates & DragDropKeyStates.RightMouseButton) != DragDropKeyStates.None)
        // Still dragging with Right Mouse Button
        e.Action = DragAction.Continue;

Identify left and right mouse button clicks?

I am wondering how is it possible to identify left mouse button click and right mouse button click using Java rather than just identify a mouse click.
Kumar

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can use MouseEvent's getButton() function.
For example
class MyListener implements MouseListener
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
        int btn = e.getButton();
        //btn = 1 (left button), btn=2 (right button) for 2 button mouse and so on...
}

When using the right mouse button in Yahoo mail inbox (Firefox 8.0.1, Win 7, Yahoo Mail Plus) the Firefox navigation window (Back, Forward etc...) is on top of the Yahoo email menu (Open, Print, Reply etc...). This happens in Firefox safe mode as well.

This also happened in Windows XP which I was using until recently.
The Yahoo mail menu is there but the Firefox menu is on top of it. I tried Firefox safe mode with everything disabled and the problem still happened. I tried Yahoo mail in IE 9 and the right mouse button works correctly.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

DV6-2177 Right Mouse Button (touchpad) not working.

I've got a dv6-2177, 3 months old and the right mouse button isn't working. When I right click, there is no context menu that shows up. I've reloaded the pointing device drivers but it doesn't solve the problem. Any external mouse that I connect will work fine but the built in right button is useless.
Any idea what the problem is?

I have the same issue. It has been driving me nuts for months. I have tried everything, and done a LOT of research. The left click brings on the context menu on the desktop and in a few other instances. The right click does not work AT ALL... even if you try to set it up as a tap-a-touch feature (so it is not the hardware), and also the windows lose focus, until you hit the start menu key, or control alt delete, if it is being really stubborn. I have an HP G7... only 6 months old. HP or Synaptic needs to fix this!! It makes my laptop almost useless and definitely frustrating to use!!

The right mouse button on my 8740w has failed (clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu

My right mouse button clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu does not appear.
I think the hardware has failed.
Note the mousepd is not the issue. The right button is the problem
Left button works fine

Same deal with me except the right button has failed twice. You may find that if you push on it past the click with a bit more force it will respond. They swapped the hardware and same thing occurred.
HP should be ashamed that they would put such awful mouse hardware on its flagship product. Whoever designed it should be fired.
If HP had any customer loyalty they would offer a hardware update and offer it to those who are still under warranty.
Suffice to say I will never, ever purchase an HP workstation again.
Good luck.

Using the right mouse button with JTables

Hi Folks,
Can someone describe how to allow the right mouse button to select rows in a JTable? Or can someone tell me how to access the code which is activated when the RMB is clicked on a JTable so I can copy it.
Thanks.

[SOLVED] Thunar 1.6 doesn't drag-and-drop with the right mouse button

Hallo all.
It might be something I've done (though I did delete my ~/.config/Thunar directory before upgrading), but Thunar doesn't let me drag-and-drop with the right mouse button, thus stopping me from copying something instead of moving it, etc. Has anyone else had that too?

Come on! Read what GordonGR wrote!
Microsoft Windows, Nautilus, the Haiku Tracker, and probably many other file managers have a feature where, when you right-click or middle-click and drag an icon to a new location, a pop-up menu appears and asks what you'd like to do (Move, Copy, Link). I thought I used to use this feature in Thunar too but it seems to have stopped working in recent versions. Has anyone else had any experience with it?
EDIT: Here's random blogger talking about the feature in an older version of Thunar: http://jeromeg.blog.free.fr/index.php?p … and-tricks So that's good, I wasn't just imagining the feature.

I can't remove Yandex Elements from the Open menu list with right mouse button and Tools menu although I removed Yandex. I think it slows down Firefox.

I downloaded Freeyoutube downloader from internet and somehow got yandex installed in my computer with toolbars on firefox.Despite I removed Yandex from my computer Yandex elements still stays in open menu when right mouse button clicked and in the Tools menu. I tried to uninstall Firefox, remove yandex registry from windows registry and restart computer, and then reinstall firefox, Yandex elements still hangs there. Firefox is now running very slow compared to the running before Yandex.

hello, please try all these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

Right mouse button - short list

Hello,
I have got Apple MacBook Pro 13.3” (ME865LL/A) witch OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 and I’ve noticed that when I click right mouse button on the desktop or in the Finder I’ve got very short list. There is only „New Folder/Catalog (I don’t know how it calls in english cuz I have polish version but I hope that you know what I’m talking about)” and „Information”. I remember that previously I had more things there and I don’t know what I’ve done that this things have disappeared. It is worth noting that I use „Total Finder” but when I turn it off the problem does not disappear.
Below - how it looks like. On the top "New Folder" and on the bottom "Information". There's no more things.
Have someone ever come up against this kind of problem?
Patrick B.

I've just figured it out! TotalFinder causes that these things disappeared from context menu and there left only 2 things. But why? How Can I configure TotalFinder to have more position to choose.

JTable selection _only_ with right mouse button

I have a JTable and my code is responsible for selection. All selection should only be done with the right mouse button. The left on will be used for other purposes. However, I do not know how to stop selection with the left mouse button.
Currently selecting with the right mouse button does the selection in "my way". Klicking with the left mouse button still offers selection the "default way". I want to disable this default way. How can this be done?

First you get the ListSelectionModel of the jtable. Then use setSelectionInterval to set selection. Look at following code:
table_list.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
showPopUp(e);
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e){
showPopUp(e);
private void showPopUp(MouseEvent e){
if (e.isPopupTrigger()){
menu_point.setLocation(e.getPoint());
ListSelectionModel lsm = table_list.getSelectionModel();
lsm.setSelectionInterval(table_list.rowAtPoint(menu_point),table_list.rowAtPoint(menu_point));
popup.show(e.getComponent(),e.getX(),e.getY());
});
