Google Chrome and MB3
 

[ Ubuntu 10.04.1; Google Chrome 9.0.597.45 beta ]

When I depress MB3 over a link on a page in Chrome, *nothing* happens.

Others running version 8 in a similar software environment see a "pop
up" menu containing among other items, a "Copy Link" element.

Have others had this problem? Maybe just a problem with the V9 beta?

Any solution/work-around?


Thanks for your comments/suggests,

Google Chrome and MB3
 

Sorry to reply to my own posting, but I figured out why MB3 didn't
display the "pop up" menu: Smooth Gestures.

That (very useful) Google Chrome extension "takes over" the mouse (and
its buttons) in a big way.

When I disabled the extension, the "pop up" appeared with MB3. I
re-enabled it, and read Smooth Gestures' documentation which indicated
that "double clicking" MB3 produces the desired behavior.

Problem solved!

(Tongue in cheek reply)
Ah, professor (we do have lot's of professors here, don't we?), that's
what we are talking about here. Oh, MB3 is mouse button 3, some of us call
it MRCB (mouse right click button) or just MRB. Of couse, Chrome can let
you change that to MMW (mouse middle wheel or MSW - mouse scroll wheel) If
we had known what you are talking about, we might have answered you
earlier. In earlier versions of Chrome, you cannot even use DBC (double
click) to circumvent this, (I mentioned this when Chrome first came out).
But I am relieved that MB3 is not some arcane application in Chrome I do
not know about.


Heh heh - Regards, Take care, Kenneth. - Goh Lip

ps: by the way, Opera still has the best mouse gestures and can be custom
modified.
