Compiler doesn't respond to right click in OS X.

Hi,

I've just tried the compiler at home for the first time in a while where I'm running 10.4.11 and right click doesn't bring up the context menu in the compiler.  Ctrl + Left_Click works but not right click on its own.

I thought macs were too cool for right mouse buttons :) Tempted to leave it our on principle.

I'll make a note anyway, just incase we feel generous.

Uh, Mac OS X has supported multi button mice for 12 years now. You actually have to do more work to capture control-click than to just handle right-click directly, since the OS delivers right-click events for both.
