Discovered that some functions under the right-click contextual menu do not work in PD4 under either XP/SP3 or Vista SP1 when running Java (6/11) under Internet Explorer 7.

Some right-click menu items work but some don't - do not have this problem with PD3 (5626).

Nothing appears in the logs.

The particular web based application is WebIress - it works fine with PD3 (5626) so it appears that the problem is caused by PD4. There are no error logs generated.

Some Right-Click items work and others don't.

Also noticed that it takes a lot longer for the XP and Vista VMs to start and shutdown under PD4, even when running in Window mode.
 
Hi John,

Will be difficult for you to reproduce unless you have a Commsec login account for CommsecIRESS (WebIress). I can send you a screenshot - what email address do I send the attachment to.

Upon further testing, I have found that the problem occurs using the touchpad and 'Shift-Control-Click' - this brings up the contextual menu OK but have to continue holding down 'Shift-Control' while clicking on 'Delete'. Previously only had to click on 'Delete'. Using a mouse and the right-click contextual menu works as it should.

At least I have a workaround - be nice to see it fixed though.

Thanks - Kevin
