TYPO3 Core

In the help for 'Disable Popup Context Menus' you get this message. So this would mean the right click should not show any clickmenu. I have gone back now to 3.8 but this error is still remaining.
---------
This is the context menu (or "Clickmenu") of a page in the page tree. Notice that it is activated by a regular "left-click" opposite to the normal "right-click" activation known from most Operating Systems.

Hi Franz,

are you sure that something was changed on the clickmenu between 3.8.0 and 3.8.1? I don't think so.
On my systems, the behavior of both versions is absolutely identical.

Right click on an icon in the page tree -> Clickmenu appears

Disable JavaScript in your browser before you click on an icon! If you're using Firefox I can suggest the plugin "Webdeveloper".

Hello Thomas,
the behavior in the page tree is wrong. When I righ click the browser's popup menu is not shown. This works still correct in the DAM and Commerce extensions with JavaScript turned on.

Franz

this is not new in 3.8.1, but you can simply disable it with:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['useOnContextMenuHandler'] = 0

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['useOnContextMenuHandler'] = 0;
Thanks, with this settings no context menu is shown with the right mouse button on the page tree but still with the left mouse button.

This should become standard behaviour. I think, nobody will need the right mouse button with TYPO3 and it is necessary for the browser's popup menu.

lol exactly the opposite, but ok...

...and one thing I really want to know: why would you need the browsers context menu when the mouse is exactly over one of the icons? Simply click somewhere next to them and you will get it anyway...

There are some context menus in Firefox only for images.
During development when e.g. an image is not shown correctly, I can select 'show image' to get the path of the image. So I find where the error is. I am developing on a tree for the backend and want to see how it works in the page tree.

I think especially for new users the right-click might seem more logical.
Anyways, I hope the problem is solved now. If not, please re-open the report.
