My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Chrome 50.0.2661.37, Flash 21.0 (release 0)

This problem only started a few days ago, so it could be due to a Flash update. But I haven't seen anyone else complaining, so it could be just me!

When I right-click (to do things like Duplicate, Delete, etc) the correct menu appears, but when I release my mouse button the Flash settings menu appears on top of it. (The obvious workaround is to always move the mouse pointer between mouse-down and mouse-up, but hopefully the cause of the glitch can be identified and fixed, whether it's Scratch or Flash.)

I'm using Chrome. I've checked in Internet Explorer and there's no problem there. Ditto Scratch desktop edition.

Shift-clicking is the answer.

No, shift-clicking is a pain-in-the-butt workaround to achieve the effect that's SUPPOSED to be possible via right-click.

Hmm… maybe firefox will have a better effect? I always use that.

While another browser should fix the problem, chrome has it's own benefits, and we should find a way to fix this.

Love the way the suggested “solutions” all involve running away from the problem rather than fixing it. Where are the developers in this discussion? This happened a couple of years ago too and got fixed. By the Scratch team? By Adobe? Who knows? They're too good to talk to us.

When I was shift-clicking 24/7, i got used to it easily - and i bet you will too.
once i was using 1.4 and i kept shift-clicking to bring up the menu until i realised i had to normally right click XP
So just use another browser or get used to it - and please try to be more respectful next time.

Very respectful.

*reporting to be closed*

Might as well, if a forum for reporting glitches is being misused.

You are right - avoiding the problem is not fixing it. However, there is no call for rudeness.

Let's hear from other Scratchers and see if this is a wide-spread issue or something peculiar to your setup.

By the way - I am not experiencing the problem on my machine.

My browser / operating system: Windows 10.0, Chrome 49.0.2623.87, Flash 21.0 (release 0)

Middle click. I have this problem on Chrome Canary.

I tried it and this issue didn't occur.

Same issue, Microsoft Edge 25.10586.0.0 on Windows 10 Home V1511 OS Build 10586.164

Looking forward to the fix!

This has been happening to me too and it's really annoying.

I am also experiencing this on Windows 7, Chrome 49.0.2623.1110
