Uh, actually, Windows VM gets it wrong by default - anyway there is a preference to fix it on Windows, so I very much appreciate a preference on Mac, too. However ... what's the difference of the options above? And couldn't you leave "Windows" out of the name? It's a piece of hardware, after all. - Bert - |
Ok, well I was offering up three behaviours.
a) the original mac one button mouse behaviour and how it interacts now with multiple mice. b) the broken window behaviour, I mean could change the info.plist key to brokenWindowsBehaviour if people want. c) the 3 button color mouse behavior (which is the unbroken windows behaviour?) really I guess the questions is more what should it do?

Huh? What is "broken" about this behavior? It is normal, no expected, behavior on Windows to operate a context menu using the right mouse button. And since it's a preference you can change, how can it be "broken" at all? Besides, isn't the default on OSX to operate context menus with the right mouse button, too? Cheers, - Andreas |
