[QUOTE="MisterTLS, post: 1121689, member: 142045"] Folks, She's not right clicking. (She can't, it's a one button mouse.) She's doing "slow clicks". She doesn't "tap" her mouse button. She presses it down for about a second, then lets go. She's done this for 10 years on her Mac OS 9 computer without any problem. OS 9 interpreted this as an ordinary click. But OS/X brings up a context menu. The problem is not peculiar to one button mice. It can also be seen using the left button of a two-button mighty mouse. Try it yourself. Put your mouse on any icon in your dock. Press the left mouse button for about one second and then release it. You will see the context menu appear, just as if you had right clicked. That's the "problem" I'm trying to solve. I want "slow clicks" to work like they did on OS/9, acting like ordinary clicks, not bringing up the context menu. [/QUOTE]
