10. Thanks, I think you steered me in the correct direction: *Touchpad* gestures!

I use ONE finger (the long, or "bad" one), such that the forefinger is always sort of hovering next to it over the touchpad, and I guess (NOW) that it sometimes touches down on the pad thereby turning things into the "TWO FINGER" gesture meaning the right-click menu (as I see now in the Settings).

I just got back to the machine, so just now unclicked the 2 finger deal and haven't done the time yet to see if it's been fixed, but it sounds like the answer.

Thanks, much!!!!!!!!!! You seem to hang out here, responsively!

Is this a laptop? mr_lebowski Jan 2021 #1

That's what it sounds like to me, but... canuckledragger Jan 2021 #2

Most likely culprit being the right-click button on the mouse ... mr_lebowski Jan 2021 #3

I was thinking about the keyboards... canuckledragger Jan 2021 #4
