Post [Mac] Right click not working
I did a bit of search and it seems this issue isn't really mentioned on the forums yet. A topic do exist, but it's imprecise and have been locked.

So, the issue is that for some reason, the right-click doesn't seem to work. The pie menu doesn't appear, and nothing happens at all.
I tried both with a trackpad and multi-button mice (an Apple one, and another random one).
The only way to make the menu show up is to use the non-standard control-click combination — which is less convenient, especially in the heat of the action.

Am I the only one getting this issue?

(before you ask: yes, I did turn on the right-click in the system preferences)

I've had the same issue intermittently, it began when I used a cheap-ish microsoft branded mouse.
Gave up, now ctrl-click is second nature.
After a re-installation of the OS (or rather, a new HDD), the problem persisted.

Which version of OSX are you running?
I'm using 10.6.2, a nearly fresh install.

I had this problem with Leopard, and still have it with 10.6.2.

If does this even on a new copy of CC too, so I suspect it is related to why the mouse is not hidden anymore.

The mouse hiding works fine for me. Are you switching from/to fullscreen?

Hate beam active. Old myth is old.

I actually never play in fullscreen, but under 10.5 the mouse hid, and 10.6 it did not.
I'll check that now.

I say we send it to Mythbusters to test it. They can have an entire 2 hour special and everything. It'd be awesome.

Reporting back.
Switching into full screen captures the mouse, and the capture lasts after switching back until you try to move it offscreen.

The game does, however, interpret my wacom tablet mouse.
I just installed the special wacom drivers now, though it worked plug-and-play too.
Once the mouse was in, the trackpad was able to right-click as normal.


As for the right-click confusion, some clarity:
All macs have had right-click, despite the three mice that were shipped without a second physical button. (One one of those just needed a setting toggled to use the finger sensor.)

I hate to stereotype, and I'm fully aware that macs have had right clicking for a long time now but the juxtaposition of topic title and mac stereotype was just comically easy
