I believe it is the best right-click ever. So anyway, it works well in a Windows VM. Sometimes when I exit Parallels - this feature stops working in OSX. IF I open System Preferences, Keyboard and Mouse, Trackpad the option is still selected, but placing two fingers on the trackpad and clicking does nothing. If I uncheck and then recheck this option - it works again. Any advice? It sure is irritating.

Once I set this, it has worked perfectly. Before I set it though it didn't seem to work..... ;-)

Funny that.
