FF: No context menu when right clicking a select component

[cunha17@…]

Linux FC4 Firefox 1.0.7 FCK 2.2, 2.1.1

When right clicking on a "select" component, no context menu appear.

Sometimes it's possible to left click on a "select" component and then right click on an empty editor space to get the context menu to appear. But this should not be a regular behaviour, does it?

Anyway, I propose a "properties" button on the toolbar, so we may select any component with the left button and then click on the "properties" toolbar button.

Regards,

Cristiano da Cunha Duarte

This seams to be a Firefox limitation. For now, just click in the select field and use the "Selection Field" button in the toolbar to edit its properties.

Forget about it : I forgot that I had disallowed javascripts to change context menu. Now works OK. Sorry for the mistake. Keep up the good work.

Same here whit FF 1.5.0.6 and FCKe 2.31.

When right-clicking on a component, FCKe context menu appears a fraction of a second (maybe 20 miliseconds, just enough to be seen) and then is replaced by FF right-click menu. This basicaly renders FCKe useless (unable to resize a table ; unable to change an existing link, etc.).

Will try to reverse to FCKe 2.2.

#1753 has been marked as DUP.

Actually the bug appears in the latest version (2.5.1) as well

This bug is partially similar to #680

There are some other form elements that do not have context menus. e.g. radio buttons and checkboxes.

The bug seems to be not fixable with JavaScript alone. I've done some investigations into the matter and found Midas to be blocking 'contextmenu' and 'click' events for radio buttons, checkboxes and select boxes.

We'll need to report this bug to the Mozilla developers.

All you have to do is hook up the plugin (as in config.js) and the fix.css file.

I suggest you evaluate the plugin and maybe incorporate it into the next release of the editor. It works great for me! :-)

Hi, I tried to hook it up just now, but I guess I did something wrong!?

I patched the fckeditor.js to include the plugin and added the new code (var fixProcessor = FCKDocumentProcessor.AppendNew() and so on), but now I get a script error when trying to add the new select box, in file contentMenuFix/select.html, line 55:

SelectField( 'txtName' ) ;

It seems this function cannot be found!?

This plugin fixes the context menu problem with checkboxes, radio buttons and select boxes in Firefox. This is version 1.2.1, which has been more thoroughly tested. Thanks to Gerrit Volkenborn!

This plugin fixes the context menu problem with checkboxes, radio buttons and select boxes in Firefox. This is version 1.2.2, which resolves a few minor niggles.
