Re: Re: right mouse click on trackpads

Hi,

By new feature I meant that from my memory this was not how it worked before. In previous versions I thought that the drop down menu stayed there until I selected an item or clicked somewhere outside the menu. I cannot exactly remember which version it changed in, something like 5.24-25. I could also be wrong, and just have a lack of memory.

Yes, I know about ctrl + one-finger click. Problem is I am running Linux, and I cannot figure out how to activate this in the settings. Should also be said that ROOT is the only application I know of with this behaviour.

Cheers,
Yngve
