If I click on a page _root container_, I get the following _context menu_: ![immagine](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/6/56adea56391ca87ab1c7c6548fd1dc49eb525071.png) 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`: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/New+in+this+Version#NewinthisVersion-ComponentEvents](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/New+in+this+Version#NewinthisVersion-ComponentEvents) ---

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](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`](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/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: ![Screenshot_11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/0/207121138e6851a8fb46620113be23f41cb6e192.png) 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 ™) 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… 🙄 ---

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. ---

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