1. I reinstall the system and have to set the preferences from scratch.

2. I create a new user and have to set the preferences from scratch.

3. I end a full-screen game like Quake 3 or Oni that had taken over and changed the mouse settings.



I literally have *never* had a problem otherwise.

For Carbon apps, the developers probably have to do a bit more work to get it. Most of my apps are Cocoa; so, I have cut/copy/paste there most of the time.



So, basically, if an app you use doesn't include those context menus, complain specifically to that app's developers.
