VMWare mouse right click issue

Hey all,
I am having an issue with right click in vmware using XFCE for arch. when i right click the menu gets brought up fine but it almost instantly selects the first option in the menu. if i move the mouse in the opposite direction of the menu really fast while right clicking or if i hold down the right mouse button it does not select the first option. to me it seems like the timer for function that selects the option under the pointer when you release the mouse button is called too fast. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Hemmar

For VMware related posts, maybe it's a good idea to include the following information
- Which VMware product: player, workstation, esxi and which version
- Using open-vm-tools or vmware tools
- Using vmwgfx ?
Important in your case:
edit or create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-gpudriver.conf
Section "Device"
       Identifier "Card0"
       Driver     "vmware"
EndSection

  • Magic mouse right click issue

    I just bought the new iMac 3 weeks ago with the magic mouse which I LOVE. But in the past week I have lost the right click function 3 times now. It acts like the right click option is turned off, which I verified and tried to reset and set back which didn't work.
    The only way to reactivate the right click function is to reboot the machine entirely. I also tried to turn off and back on the mouse which didn't work and I had to get another mouse to even reboot after that!
    The only thing that has changed is that I installed VMWARE fusion (which is hella cool!) and transferred my old XP image to. It seems to stop working after i have been using my XP or Win7 virtual machine after a while. Not always the case but the only thing I can think of that has changed or I am doing differently.
    Any help on the subject would be great! Even a work around to get it working again without rebooting the machine would help.
    Thanks in advance for you help!

    I'm not sure what all of those startup items do, but since none are obvious suspects, what you may want to do is remove them all (except iTunes Helper). In order to add them back later, you can right-click on each item and select +Reveal in Finder+, to see where the item is located. Note down the locations.
    After you remove them from the +Login Items+ list, restart (or log out and log back in). Those login items should not be running anymore. See if that resolves the Magic Mouse issue. If it did not, you can add the items back. If it did resolve the problem, I guess you'll have to find the culprit by going to the locations noted earlier and starting one item up at a time, until the Magic Mouse problem returns.
    Separately (you can try this first), when I make a change to my mouse settings (although I don't have a Magic Mouse), this is the preference file that changes
    <user home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
    In case that file is corrupted in some way that prevents the right click from being set, move it to the Desktop. Then go to System Preferences Mouse pane and set it up as desired, including the right click. A new preference files should be created. See if the mouse now works properly.
    Those are the two approaches I would take initially, checking the login items and the most obvious user preference file.

  • Mouse right-click function doesn't work in Bookmarks (Mac)

    I recently switched from PCs to Macs. No problem downloading Firefox and transferring old bookmarks and other settings, with one exception. With the PCs, when I right-clicked a particular bookmark under Bookmarks I got a series of 12 options (from Open, Open in New Window to Delete, Sort by Name, Properties). I used these a lot to delete bookmarks, change names, alphabetize lists, etc. I can now do most of these things under the Manage Bookmarks setting, but when I right click bookmarks now the new bookmark I click on just replaces the one on screen (ie, the right click does exactly what the left click does). I am using two different mice (Apple Mighty Mouse with Leopard, Microsoft Wheel Mouse with Tiger) and the right click function behaves as expected in other programs. Are these mouse right click Bookmark functions supposed to appear with the Firefox for Mac? If so, any ideas how to resolve my problem?

    Can someone explain to me why it's possible in Chrome on Mac, but not on Firefox? This is my 2nd biggest complaint about FF on the Mac, only surpassed by missing favicons in bookmarks. Chrome does both very well.

  • My iMac mouse right click does not work now

    Hi all,
    My iMac mouse right click does not work now.  It was fine a couple of days ago. 
    Right click is definitely enabled, I have checked it several times.
    A Google search revealed that in Firefox it could be that I'm not using the latest version of Firebug.  I have auto updates on and Firebug is the latest version 1.11.3
    I use right click for correcting spell checked words, instead of a suggested correct spelling I get the 'open in a new tab' menu.
    In Firefox when I right click to open in a new tab I get the menu but it does nothing.
    It is driving me mad
    Any help will be greatly appreciated,
    Thank you
    P.S. thought it was suddenly working when I did the spell check in this post but it was the left click doign it....

    I don't use Firefox so I can't test it, but it might be something to do with a preference setting. Have a look at this link (ignore all the instructions), just look at the image of the preferences, there appears to be a setting in Javascript preferences relating to contextual menus. Check to see what your settings are:

  • Thunderbird Crashes on selection +"ctrl+c" or mouse right click

    Whenever I attempt to copy text from within a mail message, by selecting text & pressing ctrl+C TB crashes,
    or Just on Mouse Right Click TB Crashes

    So, I finally did a fresh install of OSX on iMac, and the right click came back.
    I think there was something corrupted on the system that somehow showed up after Adobe CS2. I reinstalled CS2 but up to now, no problems at all.
    Thanks all for the insights, they all helped a lot!

  • Apple mouse right click function stopped working

    After 4 and a half years my Apple mouse right click function on my iMac stopped working.  However the mouse works perfectly on my other iMac.  The apple store said the problem is in the iMac.  Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks, jpm3577

    First log into another user account on your Mac and see if it work correctly there.  If not boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try there.  Also try another USB port on the Mac if it's a wired mouse.

  • Disable Mouse Right click inside Adobe Acrobat PDF plugin

    Hi All,
    We are rendering Adobe live cycle pdf file inside html object tag.
    I have disabled toolbar , navigation bar using navpanes=0&toolbar=0.
    But when mouse right click reenable the context menu again.
    So Is there any way to disable mouse righ click inside Adobe Acrobat PDF browser plugin?

    I had the same problem after updating Firefox to version 4.0 and Acrobat Reader to Version X. For me (Win XP) what solve the problem was deleting the Acrobat Reader Plugin (nppdf32.dll) in the Firefox plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins). So now there is only one Acrobat Reader Plugin left namely the one in the Acrobat Reader plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Browser).

  • Magic mouse right click problem in Mountain Lion

    Hi!
    My Magic mouse right-click doesn't work in Mountain Lion! in previous OSes it was working properly (Leopard and Lion), but when I upgrated to Mountain, this problem occured.
    if you click anywhere on the magic mouse, it simply do a click, not a right-click anyway...
    I did a lot of searches and changes but the problem is still alive...
    somewhere suggested disabling "Secondary Click", then restart, and then enabling it. but nothing changed...
    somewhere suggested to remove two files named "com.apple.Bluetooth..." in /Library/Preferences, and then restart the system, but this not worked for me, too...
    I changed the "Secondary Click" to "Click on the left side" but nothing changed and the magic mouse did just clicking and not right-clicking!
    I wondered what can I really do to solve this problem?!
    any suggestion is appreciated...

    I still use the magic-mouse and still it's not stable. I've found theONLY way to overcome the rightclick is to make sure that you're NOT pressing anywhere else on the mouse (even touching) and only pressing at theTOP right-hand most corner.
    It's not the best resolution, but the best that Applecare could provide me with. I thinjk, because it's relatively new due to the new generation of capacitive touch devices that we all get the bugs/flaws.
    As like the iPhone, although an EXCELLENT device, and the various versions of OSX, we're going to be plagued eith bugs until a newer review comes out.
    The way I found out was to use BOTH tools (MagicPrefs and BetterTouchTool) together, and in both set the Rightclick sensitive area to a near nothing for system wide (non app specific).
    It does fail at times on some apps, and takes a few clicks, but 90% of the time it's cleared up.
    I somehow think that most developers (and yes its the developers not apple) that forget that we rest out palms on the mouse) and they don't filter out the events forrectly (i.e. a palm on the mouse is seen as a tap). Othere works well, for exmaple I use photoshop, which adapted well to the mouse. The majority of games, and including those (ESPECUALLY THOSE) flash mbased, don't like the mouse at all!

  • Function Keys and Mouse Right Click Stopped Working On New iMac

    I bought a new iMac a couple of days ago and everything was working fine until last night when I noticed that the volume up/down function keys and also the mouse right click no longer worked.
    For the mouse I tried turning off the right click option and back on again and also tried another mouse which has the same problem.  Both work ok on a MBP which I have.
    I have tried doing the normal SMC and PRAM resets which doesn't solve the problem.
    One program which I installed after I got the computer was Logmein which screwed up my audio settings.  After uninstalling that my audio settings are ok but I was wondering if the program could also have changed some other settings.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you checked the System/Keyboard preference pane to see if the Function key option is checked?
