[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 264441, member: 2960"] One theory (I say theory because I have never experienced nor tried it in OSX) is that in the older versions of Mac OS (pre X), when you clicked and held the mouse button, it brought up the contextual menu. This was how Mac dealt with the "right-click" that Windows users rely on so heavily. Why use two buttons when you can do it with one? :black: Anyway.... It could be that your mouse might be read incorrectly as a one-button for some reason and therefore bringing up the menu. [/QUOTE]
