right-click in Thunar (xubuntu) not working unless I hold
For some reason, when I right-click an icon (file or directory) in Thunar, the context menu only appears for as long as I'm holding the button. I have to right-click and hold instead of just right-clicking. It doesn't do this if I click on empty space, any of the icons in the side pane or in any other programs. It started doing this recently, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Anybody have this problem or have any ideas on how I should go about fixing it?

hi there,
Right click and hold down the button :)) or else click on start and go to setting manager and then you will have most of the settings there. You have to check the box that says use xfce to manage the desktop. That should help. P.S :- Knowing what distro you are using would have been a lot better. |

According to his/her title OP is using Xubuntu. More helpful would have been to focus on: Quote:
OP, what changed immediately before this problem started happening? Since reinstalling didn't help, could it be a h/w problem? -- Have you tried a different mouse? (I may be grasping at straws here :)). |
Right before the problem started happening, I tried to set up dual monitor support on the machine (it's a laptop). I have an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M, and I used the ATI Catalyst Control to try it, and it messed up a lot of things. I uninstalled it, but it didn't fix this!
