Windows 7 Photoshop CC - empty right click menu

Windows 7 machine with newly installed Photoshop CC and the right click/drop down menus are empty (they still work, just can't read the text). I have only seen it resolved with Macs and no mention of windows - any advice?

I am having the EXACT same issue. I believe this is to do with changing your system fonts. As I have this issue, but after much deliberation, I have concluded this issue started happening only after I made a *.reg file that overwrote the fonts that windows uses to ones that 'fit' my windows theme better.
Only annoying things is.. I don't have a backup that can restore the 'SubstituteFonts' that I have changed.. I've manually gone in, changed some I thought were breaking the right-click menu, restarted a few times but it's still the same.
I shall continue changing the fonts back and let you know if it fixes the issue.
EDIT: I've found a *.reg restore file, ran it, and it did bugger all lol.. This now leads me to believe it may not be a font issue. I did update all my drivers like the mac guys are told to do when this happens, but to no avail. Same thing, different reboot..
By the way that the menu still shows, but is devoid of all text, is really screaming at me that it's a font issue. All the other menus work fine, it's just any right click menu that has no text.

Copying a table with the right-click menu in schema browser fails to copy comments when string has single quote(s) (ascii chr(39))

Hi,
I'm running 32-bit version of SQL Developer v. 3.2.20.09 build 09.87, and I used the built in context menu (right-clicking from the schema browser) today to copy a table. However, none of the comments copied. When I dug into the PL/SQL that the menu-item is using, I realized that it fails because it doesn't handle single quotes within the comment string.
For example, I have a table named WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT that I wanted to copy as WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 (within same schema name)
1. I right-clicked on the object in the schema browser and selected Table > Copy...
2. In the pop-up Copy window, I entered the new table name "WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1" and ticked the box for "Include Data" option. -- The PL/SQL that the menu-command is using is in the "SQL" tab of this window. This is what I extracted later for testing the issue after the comments did not copy.
Result: Table and data copied as-expected, but no column or table comments existed.
I examined the PL/SQL block that the pop-up window issued, and saw this:
declare
l_sql varchar2(32767);
c_tab_comment varchar2(32767);
procedure run(p_sql varchar2) as
begin
     execute immediate p_sql;
end;
begin
run('create table "BI_ETL".WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 as select * from "BI_ETL"."WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT" where '||11||' = 11');
select comments into c_tab_comment from sys.all_TAB_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and comments is not null;
run('comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '||''''||c_tab_comment||'''');
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   run ('comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''');
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
The string of the table comment on WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT is this:
WBIG table of frozen, point-in-time snapshots of Enrolled Students by Category/term/pidm. "Category" is historically, and commonly, our CENSUS snapshot; but, can also describe other frequencies, or categorizations, such as: End-of-Term (EOT), etc. Note: Prior to this table existing, Census-snapshots were stored in SATURN.SNAPREG_ALL. All FALL and SPRING term records prior-to-and-including Spring 2013 ('201230') have been migrated into this table -- EXCEPT a few select prior to Fall 2004 (200410) records where there are duplicates on term/pidm. NO Summer snapshots existed in SNAPREG_ALL, but were queried and stored retroactively (including terms prior to Spring 2013) for the purpose of future on-going year-over-year analysis and comparison.
Note the single quotes in the comment: ... ('201230')
So, in the above PL/SQL line 11 grabs this string into "c_tab_comment", but then line 12 fails because of the single quotes. It doesn't know how to end the string because the single quotes in the string are not "escaped", and this messes up the concatenation on line 12. (So, then no other column comments are created either because the block throws an error, and goes to line 22 for the exception and exits.)
When I modify the above PL/SQL as my own anonymous block like this, it is successful:
declare
c_tab_comment VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
SELECT REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) INTO c_tab_comment FROM sys.all_TAB_comments WHERE owner = 'BI_ETL'   AND table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' AND comments IS NOT NULL;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '''||c_tab_comment||'''';
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''';
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
On lines 4 and 8 I wrapped the "comments" from sys.all_tab_comments and sys.all_col_comments with a replace command finding every chr(39) and replacing with chr(39)||chr(39). (On line 8 I also had to alias the wrapped column as "comments" so line 10 would succeed.)
Is this an issue with SQL Developer? Is there any chance that the menu-items can handle single quotes in comment strings? ... And, of course this makes me wonder which other context menu commands in the tool might have a similar issue.
Thoughts?
thanks//jacob

I know about quick drop, but it isn't helpful here. I want to be able to right click on a string or array wire, navigate to the string or array palette, and select the corresponding "Empty?" comparator. In this case, since I do actually know where those functions live, and I'm already using my mouse to right click on the wire, typing ctrl-space to open quick drop and then typing in the function name is actually more work than navigating to it in the palette. It would just be nice to have it on hand in the location I naturally go to look for it the first time.
I don't agree with this work flow. Right hand on mouse, left hand on home keys. Pressing CTRL + Space is done with the left hands, and then you could assign "ea" to "Empty Array" both of which is accessible with the left hand. Darren posted a bunch of great shortcuts for the right handed developer.

This is much faster than waiting for any right click menu navigation, even if it is found in the suggested subpalette.

If 10 out of 10 experts in any field say something is bad, you should probably take their opinion seriously.

I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'

'''I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'''

If you select that right-click context menu entry then you block all images from that domain and not one specific image, so do not use that.
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions (e.g. sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Windows 7 -Delay after right click and installation query

Hi,
I have freshly clean installed Windows 7 home premium x64 in my HP laptop which was previously running the x86 version of the same factory installed OS.I have performed a usb install.Now,I have two queries-
1.During the installation,when the machine rebooted,to complete the installation process,it gave the option of 'Continue with win 7-EMS ENABLED'-and I went ahead with it and completed the process.I want to know whether this EMS thing is normal or not?
2.There is a slight delay after the right click in the desktop-how can it be resolved?
Looking forward for your valuable opinions regarding this

Hi,
First please know that EMS allows users to control particular components of a server remotely, even when the server is not connected to the network or to other standard remote-administration tools. In Windows Vista and later, use BCDEdit /emssettings command
and its parameters to establish EMS settings for all boot entries. Then, use the BCDEdit /ems command to enable EMS for a particular boot entry.
It's ok to get EMS enabled.
For your second question, it seems a performance issue.
Please first let me know except the system default context on the right click menu, if there is any 3rd part context menu or extension. if so, please use shellexview to remove them:
1. Download ShellExView v1.41 from the following link
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip
Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
2. Extract "shexview.zip" file and open shexview.exe. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions.
3. Select all the non-Microsoft extensions in pink by press "Ctrl" in the keyboard.
4. Click the "Disable Selected Items" on the toolbar and click Yes.
5. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
If there is no such context menu, please run performance troubleshooting under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories.
Also, help to test the issue in Clean boot mode.

If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
half services.
If the issue still persists, please check if there is any related error or warning in event logs, post back for our further research.

A long left click shows the right click menu

When I hold down the left mouse button, the right click menu appears.
I want to turn off this function, but can't remember which extension controls it or whether the function is built in to Firefox.

Hooray!! Found it! Thank you Google.
I found an old - very old - thread on Mozillazine.org:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=340572
And it IS a normal Firefox feature, but is normally OFF.
I think I must have recently turned it on after reading a "Firefox Tips and Tricks" article somewhere.
Anyway, the preference is called "ui.click_hold_context_menus".
And I just remembered that I added it in my "user.js" preferences file, amongst a load of others:
* Disable the Delay When Installing New Extensions
user_pref("security.dialog_enable_delay", 0);
* To turn off the URL greying
user_pref("browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled", false);
* To unhide the "http" portion of a URL
user_pref("browser.urlbar.trimURLs", false);
* Enable spell checker in multi-line text boxes & single-line text boxes
user_pref("layout.spellcheckDefault", 2);
* Double underline style
user_pref("ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle", 4);
* Cycle through open tabs with Ctrl+Tab
user_pref("browser.ctrlTab.previews", false);
* Disable Animations for Full Screen
user_pref("browser.fullscreen.animateUp", 0);
* Click and hold on a hyperlink to show the context menu
user_pref("ui.click_hold_context_menus", true);
* Instant Apply Preferences Without Closing Options Window
user_pref("browser.preferences.instantApply", true);
* Middle-click in any textfield, addressbar or searchbox to paste clipboard
user_pref("middlemouse.paste", true);
So there's a lesson to be learned here: don't add too many tweaks to your Firefox preferences at the same time or you may forget what you did!
Thanks, all. I'll now mark this as "Solved"!

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 [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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.

Disable (all) functions on the block diagram with right-click menu

Hello to everyone,
here is one more idea, which I'd like to propose.
As for me, it would be useful to have the following: when all components (functions, wires, subVIs, etc.) are selected on the block diagram (like, after ctrl+A), operator could do right-click, and in the menu would appear menu item "Disable everything". After it, all the code could be placed into Disable structure.
Of course, I can add Disable structure to block diagram manually, and cover whatever I want, but with right-click menu it would be much faster.
Also, it can be modified to disable only selected items - then each of them can be placed into separate Disable structure, and, for example, additionaly in the enabled case of Disable structure, corresponding wires will be connected. Sometimes it is needed for testing - just to disable couple functions, and test subVI. Or to disable subVI fully (it's faster, then disable place, where it is called. Especially, if subVI is used in many places).
It will not make debugging difficult, because anyway Disabled structures are used; such functionallity can just make life a little bit easier...

There is always the File->New... which opens up a new window. You can have your templates in that window by putting them somewhere (I don't remember where at the moment).

How to get rid of right click menu?

I like to mouse over a hyperlink in a web page and select "open in a new tab". The right click menu jumps in the way. I don't like or use the right click menu. How do I stop it from stopping me? As a side note, the reason I like "open in a new tab" is that some websites will open on the same page and in some events the back button will not return you to that page. I find the new tab very helpful and the right click menu a pain in the ---.
Win 8.1
Firefox - newest
Alternatively, is there a way to add "open in a new tab" to the menu that gets in the way?
I was trying to open "Sign Up/Sign In" in a new tab.
Completely irrelevant to my question, but since you see my tabs, I was watching Jon Stewart on Hulu. He was raving about the Katy Perry Superbowl show. I wanted to see what he was talking about. I don't give a flying crap in the rain about the Stupor Bowl.

The right-click menu is context-sensitive. When you right-click a link, you should have the option to open in a new tab, new window, or new private window. (In a private window, "new window" is not displayed.) The menu in your screen shot would normally appear if you clicked a blank area of the page without a link directly under the mouse pointer.
I can't think of any built-in way to get the Open in New Tab command just mousing over a hyperlink. Do you have an add-on that does that automatically for you? If so, I wonder whether it might need an update?

Is there any way of removing the browser buttons from the right click menu?

Recently when I right-click on a web page, there are browser buttons (forward, backward, refresh, bookmarks) on the right-click menu for some inexplicable reason. I mean, its kind of absurd that anyone would put browser buttons there, considering the real browser buttons literally right there at the top of the window, and I guess that kinda bugs me.
Anyway, how did I get rid of them? There doesn't seem to be any way to do so in the customize window, and I've been looking for an add-on but don't really know what to search for. Does anyone know?
Where did those come from anyway? They weren't there a week ago, and I'm pretty sure these things don't normally just pop up out of nowhere. If nobody knows, its really not important. The important thing is getting rid of them. Thanks!

That was a new feature in Firefox 32, which was released back in September. Use this UserStyle to get rid of those buttons and restore the text menu items.

Right click menu doesn't work

(This issue has been ongoing for several versions now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and tried safe mode.)
The right click menu, '''within the menu bar drop down menus''', disappears as soon as I move the mouse. Making it impossible to select anything from it.
'''For example:''' I click "Bookmarks" in the menu bar and get a drop down window of all my bookmarks. I then mouse over a bookmark and right click to get the drop down menu that will let me "Open", "Open in new Window", "Open in new Tab", etc...
As soon as I move the mouse, this menu disappears. I cannot mouse over it to make a selection.
If I don't move the mouse I can use the arrow keys to make a selection and then hit enter.

This solution worked for me (Dell E6320 laptop running Firefox 5 on Windows 7 Pro) immediately:
Go to Options > Advanced > General and uncheck the "Use hardware acceleration when available"
I found it here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/764278#question-reply
It's a pity that you might be slowing the rendering somewhat, but the tradeoff is well-worth it...

Removing right-click menu items

When I highlight a group of text in a web page and right click the text, There are 4 options in the menu for converting the text to PDF.
How do I remove these options from the menu?

Why doesn't adobe have an option within settings to remove shell/context/menu items?
For those who don't want the extra crap cluttering up their menus...
In winXP
-(with IE closed), click 'start', 'control panel', 'internet options'.
-Click on the 'programs' tab.
-click 'manage ad-ons'
-Find the Browser Helper Object called 'AcroIEToolbarHelper Class',
--highlight it and click 'disable'.
-Click 'ok' to close the manage ad-ons window, click 'ok' to close the internet options window.
You still need to remove the items from the right-click menu.
(*everyone puts a disclaimer so here goes. If you are scared to edit the registry...don't. Create a restore point, don't touch any other entries except the ones listed.)
-click 'start', 'run', type 'regedit', click 'ok'
-go to this entry "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt]"
-delete the 8 Adobe 'convert....' entries. (or just the ones you want gone).
(You can export them if you want, just highlight, right-click, export, and save them somewhere, but it's not necessary. If you want them back just go to 'internet options' in 'control panel' and 'enable' the Browser Helper Object again. If you re-enable it, the next time you start IE the registry entries and right-click items are replaced.)

Convert to PDF in right-click menu?

Hi,
I just installed Acrobat X and can't find that function which I used a lot in Acrobat 9, ie I could select several jpeg files and then click "convert to pdf" in the right click menu and now that button is gone. How do I get it back?

It's there for me in X Pro on Windows. I just recently installed and haven't changed any custom settings. I've never seen the ability to change the contextual menus. Are you sure X is fully installed?

Right click menu changes after error: possible bug

SQL Developer 1.1.2.25 build 25.79. This problem is reproducible everytime.
01. Connect to any database.
02. In the SQL window, run any query like
select 'alter '||object_type||' '||owner||'.'||object_name||' compile;' from dba_objects where status='INVALID' and owner='XYZ';
Craft the query to return some rows.
03. In the results window, right click the result set and choose Export Data->TEXT.
04. SQL Developer will generate an error:ora-00972 identifier is too long.
05. Click Ok to close the error box.
06. Modify the query to include an alias:
select 'alter '||object_type||' '||owner||'.'||object_name||' compile;' as x from dba_objects where status='INVALID' and owner='XYZ';
Run the query to generate rows.
07. In the result window, right click the records. The right click menu will change. the Export Data option is no longer available.
Since the problem is repeatable, it might be a bug.
Thanks

This was posted back in Export data menu item disappearing in the results tab but there does appear to have been any development response at that point.
