[SOLVED]Cannot right click in openbox

Quite simple actually, I cannot right click anywhere. Most everything else seems to work though.
(P.S.: Arch newbie here)
Some info: 64-bit Gateway M6720
I just used xev and found out that the key isn't even being picked up. I tried the same thing on an Ubuntu live CD. Looks like I've got a broken right-clicker...

I guess you are running openbox-standalone and your X closes when you do
$ killall openbox
or some loginmanager. My mistake for not notifying earlier.
but there is the way around.
The trick is not letting exec to land on openbox-session.
for that you can for the moment move your .xinitrc
$ mv .xinitrc .xinitrc.bak
then you can fireup you xinit which leaves you with xterm.
then run openbox-session or openbox, blender or alternative windows manager like fluxbox or something to just get work started.
My method are not really applicable you can see..

Windows XP - no icons, no taskbar, cannot right click

Hello TechNet Support -
Wasn't able to view all forums, am hoping this question will appear in the correct one.
Helping a friend with his Dell desktop - Windows XP SP3. When we try to start up, the desktop background picture appears, but that's it. No desktop icons, no taskbar, cannot right click, nothing.
When I open Task Manager via Ctrl-Alt-Del, I can click the New Task button and run a few programs. IE, Outlook Express, and others. We cannot get to File Manager or any file window that would access his data. Control.exe does not open. [NOTE: sorry, I said
Control.exe but meant Explorer.exe]
I opened a command prompt window and ran chkdsk without /F, it listed a number of index errors. when I ran with /F and said yes to run at next boot Chkdsk did run, but no results, no changes were made, even with /F.
All help appreciated,
John

Ugh. I had this exact problem many years ago three separate times. I fixed it by going into the control panel...have you just typed in "control" or "explorer" to see if that works? Unfortunately I cannot recall for
the life of me what I did after that...I can try to see if I can find something on it later on today but I was able to find my solution online so it should be out there somewhere. There shouldn't be any reason to wipe the system, but the third time it
happened to me was when I moved up to the next OS. Just sayin'
Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

Hey eedge520,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are unable to right-click with your mouse after updating. Let’s check your mouse preferences, as you can enable this behavior in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click > Secondary Click

[Solved] Default application right-click menus (Openbox)

Hi, I am wondering how to edit the look of the default "right-click" menu for applications so that it matches my openbox root menu. I want to do simple things, like take the icons out, and change the highlight color. I've been doing a lot of digging (rc.xml, themerc, obtheme, google, etc) and am just getting nowhere, but I'm wasting a ton of time looking, and feel like the answer is right under my nose. It seems like it's a "per app" sort of thing, where apps are unaffected by the ob theme.
Any help is appreciated.

The openbox themes only affect elements that are controlled by the window manager. Popup menus that come up in some applications when your right click are not controlled by the window manager - they are a component of a widget toolkit. This would most likely be gtk or qt. If it is gtk, you can edit your gtkrc or use a tool like lxappearance.

Windows 8.1 BUG - Cannot right click wi-fi networks

There are various threads on this with so many really bad answers. You guys really need to recognize that you broke the function and have to put it back.
In windows 8.1 you cannot go to wi-fi, right click
Answers I have seen is go to PC settings, Network, delete from there - But that just shows you the network you are connected to, not the one(s) you wish to delete
Another answer is use the NETSH command to delete the profiles. You delete the profiles and they come back.
Guys an gals, own it as the bug it is. The user should be able to do two things:
1) Delete a wi-fi name by right-clicking
2) Permanent ignore (don't show again) that network name
for number 2, it should have a feature in networks of ignored network names in case someone want to re-activate.
Why no action on this often reported issue ? Thanks

1) Delete a wi-fi name by right-clicking
Hi,
For Windows 8.1,the WiFi Alliance has removed some options. Clients are no longer allowed to have UI to configure these modes.
We need to manually delete the useless wifi profile.
Regarding your second question,since SSID uses broadcast,we cannot ignore the SSID.
Meanwhile,we will submit your feedback to our product team.
Thanks for your understanding.

Cannot Right Click on Bookmarks (in Bookmarks Toolbar) if they are "Inside a folder" or under "Show more bookmarks" in OS X

I tried to right click on bookmarks in "Bookmarks Toolbar" which are "Inside a folder" or under "Show more bookmarks" to delete or rename them but nothing happened! like i didn't right click at all
but if a bookmark in Bookmarks Toolbar is not in a folder and is not under show more bookmarks its ok and i can right click o manage it
Now to delete a bookmark inside a folder i have to drag it outside and then right click and delete it or use bookmarks library, which is really annoying, shouldn't we be able to right click on bookmarks inside folders and delete them there?
Is there any shortcut key for example holding command and clicking to rename or delete a bookmark until this bug is fixed?

@jscher2000
Yea that works, i'm already doing that, but its really annoying if you want to rename or delete a bookmark you have to open bookmarks library and then find the bookmark there, then delete or rename it, i find the dragging way a little faster
I don't think this is going to be fixed soon, so im looking for a way to rename and delete bookmarks in Bookmarks Toolbar
I think many have this problem too i have also created a topic here:

Cannot right click in Finder column view

Hello,
I'm having a **** of a time trying to figure out why I can no longer right click in Finder's column view. Everything else seems to be alright.
All other apps and finder view options are ok. Just when in column view, the right click functin for a file of folder is not working, but I can right click in the blank space inside a folder in Finder's column view.
So strange. Such an isolated issue.
I have tried a Disk permission repair, restart, shut down and turn on. I even deleted the "com.apple.finder.plist" file and restarted. Still won't work.
From what I can gather the issue arrised when I received a couple image files from a client via Wetransfer. I scanned the files and no infected files were found.
I have even enabled the hidden files and nothing looks out of the ordinary.
I'm stumpped.

Same problem from yesterday.
It is apparently caused by the Google Drive, see:

Cannot right click and copy/paste in Bridge

I thought I read online that this was a common problem and that a recent update would fix the issue. I just finished updating Bridge and I still have no right click ability. Is there a specific update I need? I am using Bridge 5.1
I have used append metadata in the past but I need to be able to paste specific keywords for single images.
Thanks for any input the community can give

I have used append metadata in the past but I need to be able to paste specific keywords for single images.
Can you be more specific (OS type and version) and what fields or files you are trying to use the right click menu on?

Cannot Right-Click and Copy in Win 8.1 Event Viewer

A minor thing, but a slight reduction in functionality that might just be a bug...
In all prior operating systems I've been able to drag across text in the Event Viewer then right-click and choose Copy from the context menu.
In Windows 8.1, right-clicking does nothing except flash the cursor several times quickly - as though something's failing in the event loop. Control-C still works to copy text.
It's not something I have installed that's causing this. I've reproduced the problem on a freshly installed system that's done nothing but display the Start Screen for the first time.

Using Windows 7 I just encountered this problem. It lasted for say 20 minutes and then reverted to normal. Did it revert to normal for you?
Thanks for your response, Gerry, and for bringing this back up.
Frankly, I'd gotten out of the habit of trying to copy data from the Event Viewer (plus, the error count has gone down a good bit after all the Windows Updates), but after having brought the Event Viewer back up now, near as I can tell the
problem is fixed in Windows 8.1.
Well, maybe not completely fixed. There's no right-click context menu for things in the pane in the General tab, but it doesn't flash and I can copy text from everywhere with Control-C.

Version cue.dll missing and cannot right click

Whenever I try to right click on any of my desktop files I get a pop up menu which says entitled explorer.exe – Fatal Application Exit and then the following error message:
The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\Version Cue.dll
I’ve uninstalled all Adobe files on my computer and still get this error message.
I have looked at some of the Adobe forums messages which suggest copying the Version Cue.dll files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\Version Cue.dll into a 4.0.1 folder however I do no have a Version Cue folder in my Common files\Adobe folder.
Please advise asap as my company does not provide IT support for Adobe products and want to reimage my computer to resolve this problem.
Thanks

I just wanted to make a note that I read some of the other solutions posted to similar questions and was able to resolve the
issue by moving the Adobe Drive folder out of the Adobe folder within the Common files folder.
The right click problem went away however I'm having problems now reinstalling Acrobat Pro Extended. I'm not sure if this is related.
