Description

In the Opera web browser it doesn't seem to work at all, it just brings up its default right-click menu.
This happens on both a local installation and on redmine.org

Version 10.00 alpha
Build 1139
Platform Win32
System Windows XP

I don't have the latest stable installed since I only use it for testing out my CSS, so I can't confirm whether this happens on version 9.5 or not. Just stumbled upon this by accident and figured you'd want to know.

History

#1 Updated by Mike K about 4 years ago

  • Status changed from New to Resolved

I was just looking through the guide in the wiki and noticed:

A context menu pops up when right clicking (ALT + Left click for Opera users) on an issue of the issue list.

My bad, issue can be closed as I just tested to confirm it works ;)

Thanks.

I am using Opera 9.64 on linux and I am not able to use the context menu, either with right click or alt and left click. It works as it should with Firefox and Konqueror.

I can confirm this - Testing in Linux and Windows. Every browser the right click context menu works except Opera.

Testing using opera 10.53 in windows
Testing using opera 10.53b1 in Linux

Tested to be working on Opera 10.70 (3488) Windows 7 64.
I got mislead for a while that it was alt+rightclick... but it's, as stated above, Alt + left click.

And 10.70 (something build) on Linux (32 bit) works as well.

#7 Updated by André Jonsson over 2 years ago

I think the right-click could be made to work.
I noticed that Zimbra has a working right-click menu, also in Opera.

#8 Updated by Claudio Acciaresi over 2 years ago

Hi there, I'm attaching a patch that solves this problem (at least for opera versions > 10.53).
This a link was useful: http://unixpapa.com/js/mouse.html

Sorry if this is not the correct way to propose a patch to solve this issue, this is my first time contributing (I went trough the wiki but I did not find information on how I should prepare [name convention, etc] the patch) with redmine.

This solution applies to opera versions >= 10.53.

Thanks for your contribution... I've tested your patch quickly using Opera 11.00 on Win (only) and it works as expected and does what it needs to do.

#11 Updated by Jean-Philippe Lang over 2 years ago

Obviously, this patch breaks the ability to use ALT+Left click to show the context menu with Opera (versions before 10.0 don't support the 'contextmenu' event). Should we drop this in favor of right click for Opera >= 10.0 only ?

#12 Updated by Claudio Acciaresi over 2 years ago

+1, I think that Opera version 10.53 is from April/May, so is pretty old.

I would drop the ALT+click functionality, is not as intuitive as using right click on the issue, and most Opera users tend to use the latest versions.

#13 Updated by André Jonsson about 2 years ago

I agree, Opera users (including myself) are bleeding-edge kind of users... :)
Vote for dumping the old alt-click and adopting use of right-click.

A really advanced variant would be to detect the opera version and use right-click when available, otherwise alt-click. But I wouldn't recommend it; it's not worth the effort and the added complexity.

Agreed. Patch applied in r4935, thanks.

#15 Updated by Pierre-Luc Samuel about 2 years ago

I just submitted patch #7700 (before noticing that this bug existed, DOH). I think my patch is a bit more thorough, since it also restores the normal Single-click behavior. Sorry for the duplication...

#16 Updated by Jean-Philippe Lang about 2 years ago

  • Status changed from Resolved to Closed

Merged in 1.1-stable.
