Items on tabs' context menu not selectable with right-click

Post by Deeday »

Hi there,

I think this is just a little oversight: the items on the tabs' context menu (Close, Print etc.) can only be selected with left-click, whereas in any other context menu, menu items can be selected indifferently with a left- or right-click, which is a Windows standard and gives the user more freedom, which is always a good thing (e.g. see the context menu on the main TP edit window).

Thanks for reading and hopefully for fixing it! 8)

Hm - in my textpads 5.4.2 (Win2K, Win7), the context menu entries can be selected with left or right click.

Hi MudGuard,

is what you say true for the context menu of the document tabs also?
The context menu of the main edit window works fine for me (i.e. entries can be selected either with a left- or right-click), but the context menu of the tabs clearly behaves differently (i.e. it only recognises left-clicks).

I've got TextPad 5.4.2, Windows XP Pro with Classic appearance (i.e. it looks like Win2000 and is a company standard).

Cheers.
