How to stop an unwanted mouse click action
Authored by: gidds on Aug 14, '06 01:44:12PM

Mmm.

However, where Mac OS X and Windows differ is in handling the right mouse button. On the Mac, the pop-up menu appears as soon as you press the right button; so you can press, move, and release to select an item. Whereas on Windows, it only appears on release, so you always need two press/release cycles to do anything.

Another of those petty annoyances brought to you by Microsoft.

How to stop an unwanted mouse click action

It depends on the apps, some do show the right mouse button context menu on mouse down.

The default behaviour of showing the RMB context menu on mouse up is to allow drag-and-drop with the right mouse button. On the drop action the context menu allows chosing which action to take (for example Copy or Move).
