Hi All,



I'm on 10.4.10 with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). Somehow, I've lost the ability to ctrl-click on a link in Safari, doing it does _nothing_. This happened weeks and weeks ago, and I've been searching for an answer to no avail. Today I was on another Mac and opened Safari and tried ctrl-clicking on a link and I got the expected menu...



Does anybody know how I might regain the old behaviour?



Many thanks,

bk

    ... really? A whole day goes by and no one knows how to make the contextual menu (or whatever ctrl-clicking is called) work again in Safari links? Has no one else seen this?

    Why aren't you using Safari 3 ?

    3.0.3 just came out last week, it's fairly solid now.

    But I don't want to go to Safari 3 yet... I just want my old functionality back, and I can't figure out how to do that. Of course I've trashed prefs etc etc, but there must be something else wrong...

    The answer, for the next poor bugger who has this problem is to delete any vestiges of Pith Helmut, reinstall safari from the OS DVD, re-run the combo update and with all of this done I finally got contextual menus back when I ctrl-click a link...
