[Solved] Annoying context-menu appears when pressing ctrl+c

This is really getting on my nerves - whenever I highlight an url and press ctrl+c, instead of copying to clipboard this weird context menu appears.
No idea why this happens, but I want it to go away... This is not only in firefox, but system-wide (on gnome). Anyone knows what this is?

How to avoid the pop up when pressing CTRL-SHIFT-DEL and delete the cache instantly?

When pressing CTRL-SHIFT-DEL an additional dialog arises. How do I disable it to gain the behaviour of FF 2.0 which deletes the history instantly by taking the settings of the "Clear history when Firefox closes" menu?

You did not get hacked through phone its that simple..
Common sense will tell you not to open any suspect links

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Empty printer dialog when pressing ctrl-p - need support

Yesterday i got this problem, when pressing ctrl-p the printer dialog is empty or it only contains empty buttons an radiobuttons and there is no text. Some days ago I noticed that my windows fonts looked strange.
ctrl-p works in all other programs like Word, XL, OO, PDF Architect just to mention some
Someone have an ideas?

This can happen if essential system fonts are missing or corrupt. If you are on Windows, try running the System File Checker from a Command Prompt:
sfc /scannow

HT1619 menu does not appear when pressing the menu bottom from the apple remote

I got a apple remote but the menu does not appear on the computer when pressing the menu bottom!?

Prior to Lion, it used to invoke the menu of the FrontRow application. FrontRow is no longer available with Lion. The menu button will work with apple TV.

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.

Safari favourites menu appears when searching...

Basically, whenever I carry out a search using the omni bar in my MBA the favourites menu pops back up even though Google has loaded in the background. I have to click outside of the menu so I can see the search results...
Anyone got any ideas?

Yes, the OS. Have you installed any Safari extensions? If so try turning them off.

Hi Bin Ga3fer,
Open menu Build->Configuration manager, if you enable "Build" option for your setup project, it would have this result in default. If you just want to build the start up project, disable this option.

I want to access the options in the context menu when clicking on a dropdown list in the bookmarks toolbar, but the context menu disappears when I try to click on one of the options. How can I keep the menu from disappearing?

I have several dropdown lists in my bookmarks toolbar and would like to access the properties for some of the the items. This used to work fine. However, now, when I go to the list and place the cursor on a particular item, the context menu that is usually available on a right click disappears when I try to access one of the options. This is the menu that begins with Open. What can I do to regain this functionality? I really need the information in the Properties section. I'm using Firefox 3.6.8

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Also check the Mouse driver settings in the Control Panel.

Help menu appears when dialogue box dismissed

I use CS3 on both OS10.4 and 10.5. I have noticed lately that when I dismiss a dialogue box or if it closes itself (eg the print dialogue box), the help menu appears. In addition, the cursor moves to another area of the screen. In order to continue working, I have to click away from the menu, which then closes and I can proceed. This happens with PS & ID in CS3 and ID in CS2. Is there a conflict somewhere (between mouse driver -- in this case Logitech --and CS for example?). Can anyone help please? Thank you.

Does this happen in a new user?

Help! A "Connect to" popup menu appears when trying to play a video...

Thanks.
A "Connect to" popup menu appears that asks for my username
and password when trying to play video.
I believe this menu began appearing after installing IE 7.0.
Is it therefore a IE 7 issue, or IIS authentication setting, or do
I need to reinstall flash or shockwave? Another question, and very
basic... how do I know if i am using flash or shockwave?
I have googled this and cannot find a similiar case.
Ideas? Thanks.

Well, the answer is going to depend on your network setup. If
you're a home user on a single machine then I'd check your firewall
settings. Or contact your ISP to see if they've implemented any
kind of proxy that requires authentication.
If you're in a network environment then hit your IT guys to
see if they're blocking the FLV file format, or blocking RTMP
streams, or requiring proxy authentication or something like
that.

Xorg crashes when pressing "ctrl-c" - bug in xf86-input-evdev 2.1.0

when i press ctrl-c (for example copying files in nautilus), xorg restarts. i'm using a config-less xorg like the poster in the second link below.
first, i get a gdm login screen - there i can enter my user, but after pressing enter it freezes/restarts again.
the second time, everything is ok.

Have custom menu appear when key is pressed?

Is it possible to have a custom menu, with 5 items, appear, next to the mouse, when the user hits, for example, the "T" key?
I've thought about adding buttons to the context (right click) menu, but having my own menu would be even better.
(Is that what popUpMenuEX does?)

It's pretty much what I specified:
- Form fields (various types of events)
- Links (click only)
- Bookmarks (click only)
- Page open
- Page close
- Document open
- Document will close
- Document will print
- Document did print
- Document will save
- Document did save
- Application launch
I think that about covers it...

Save As window appears when pressing CMD+S shortcut

Hi!
I had this problem a couple of days ago. Whenever I press CMD+S (which is supposedly a shortcut for a quick save on Mac) the Save As window always appear. I looked at the File menu and there's nothing wrong with the shortcut key. I also tried pressing CMD+SHIFT+S (which is the real Save As shortcut) and it works fine. Please help me with this. Thanks!

Does the image conform to the png requirements?
Does it have multiple Layers etc.?
If so then it can not be saved as a png directly naturally.

R60 shouts at me when pressing [ctrl+alt+backspace] in openSUSE

Whenever I try to restart the X server in openSUSE 11.3, as I like to do with the [ctrl+alt+backspace]-shortcut, I just get a loud *beep* from the onboard speaker and nothing happens. I tried booting into Windows and pressing the key combination, same thing.
Help?

Are you getting the same beep from Windows?Or is it only OpenSuse?
Every time I restart the system my 3000H system also gives me a loud beep from the board.Your X server might not be supported by the GPU which is causing the system to give out the beep sound..
