Context menu on Root Container

If I click on a page root container, I get the following context menu:
immagine
Any idea on how to get rid of that?

Thanks in advance, regards

Add a click event handler, and specify that it should Prevent Default:

Hi PGriffith, thanks for your answer. I forgot to tell you that I’m using Vision and not Perspective (the page you pointed to is speaking about Perspective, as far as I understand).
Maybe the solution is just the same, isn’t it?

Thanks, regards

Ah, yeah, it’s going to be different for Vision. That said - you’re getting this context menu in the client session? If so, it looks like it’s being specifically added by a script somewhere. Start with mouse event handlers - https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Component+Events#ComponentEvents-MouseEventHandlers

I don’t speak Italian, but from google translate it looks like a set of standard controls; you could try looking through the project (Ctrl + F) for calls to system.gui.createPopupMenu - there might be a common project script being called on popup menus to add that handler.

If I create just a blank new page with no mouse event handler and I click the Root Container with the right mouse button I get that popup menu: I don’t think I have a hidden mouse event handler anywhere calling system.gui.createPopupMenu.

This bug is still present in Vision v8.1.7:


When you create a new empty Main Window and run it (F10) the right-click menu is there…
I don’t want it, I didn’t configure it, so why is there? How to get rid of it?

I didn’t do my due diligence originally - this is an artifact of the new look and feel. I don’t know how to disable it, but I’m looking into it.

This won’t be fixed in the next round of LaF changes (landing Soon :tm:) but should be possible to disable in a future release, once we get a build of the LaF that allows it to be toggled.

Is there any news about that (not wanted) right-click menu in Vision in Ignition v8.1.12?
It’s super annoying… :roll_eyes:

We have one updated look and feel (to fix this issue), but are waiting on some other pending Vision issues so we can do the upgrade in one piece.

OK, great.
Is there any timetable for this…?

Nothing I can guarantee. The earliest I can see would be 8.1.14.
