Here is a little test program:

http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Lazarus

which demonstrates that the left mouse button is not detected correctly. Clicking the Left mouse button with the Ctrl key depressed produces Right Ctrl and clicking the Left mouse button with the Alt key depressed produces Middle Alt.

On the subject of testing, it was stated on this list recently that there was not enough manpower to run each of the examples included with Lazarus prior to a major release. Perhaps instead the test software that was used could be included. I would find such test software useful.

Not sure if I understand what the problem is. With a one-button mouse you simulate right-click with Ctrl+click. I've haven't noticed any problems with it.

Thanks.

Brian,

I have a one-button mouse that was included with my Mac.

Thanks.

Phil, I use a three button mouse as I suspect most people do since such a mouse is included with the computer!

Phil wanted to point, that one-mouse button was provided with original Apple Macs, for very long time.
To access context menu ctrl+click was used. Eventually the behavior remained (backward compatibility) even for 3-buttons (+wheel) moused.

ctrl+left = right click is the rule for MacOSX user inteface.

thanks,
dmitry
