Right-click random behaviour

EDUARDO JIMENEZ

Hello!

I used to be able to right-click on some tools to open them in a window or panel. But now it behaves erratically, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

I haven't seen any issues with the right click function you are referring to, post your OS and Logos Version so other users with the same configuration can test.

You seem to be indicating a right-click on toolbar items, not all of which are 'tools'  e.g. Library, Search, Bible and Factbook are tools and will respond to a right-click. Of the others, only Documents responds to a right-click.

You need to be specific about this behaviour. e.g. what 'tool' behaves that way, does the right-click menu appear or the selection not work?

To add to what Dave Hooton says, right-click will not work on "Home" or "Guides / Workflows" or "Tools" for different reasons:

1) "Home" does just one thing: takes you to the Home page. You can't open that in a floating window or tab, because it takes over the entire Logos screen.

2) "Guides / Workflows" and "Tools" are both like top-level menus with tools within them. You can use right-click to open any of the Guides/Workflows or Tools in a floating window or a tab:

Maybe the UI could have some better distinguishing characteristic to show you that those three items are different from the ones that you can right-click on.

Please clarify if the above isn't what you were talking about.

Thanks to everyone!

Yes, except for home, guides and tools, the open options appear. I usually open the library in a separate window. I've just discovered that if you place the cursor exactly over the tool logo, the right-click doesn't work, but if you place it at the edge of the bar, the pop-up options to open the tool in a new window or pane do appear. Behavior continues, but less so

Is that your system, or did you copy it from my post for some reason?

I can't reproduce in Windows 11, Logos 34.1. What is your system?  Are you on laptop with touchpad?

Does restarting the computer fix it?

Yes sir!

OK, I've just discovered something. I have a laptop and a monitor. The strange behaviour is only on the monitor, on the laptop screen it works normally. Still, it seems strange to me. This seems to rule out a Logos bug. But, if somebody knows... please. Thank you!
