right click works, but suppose you have 2 file in download, file A and file B.
if you left click on A (selecting it) and right click on A, amule will show all sources of A, acting like left click.
if you select A, and right click on B, B's file menu will appear.

weird!

So, the real problem is that a rapid combination of left-click followed by right-click is being interpreted as a double-left-click, Babboia? I have just now verified that is the case on my system. I had never seen that behavior before. In general, despite this bug's initial description, right-click mostly works properly for me.

This may be because of how right-click is being interpreted. Although Mac OS X does support right-click (AKA secondary mouse button click) as a native event, traditionally one achieved right-click-like functionality (context menus, etc.) by control-left-clicking. So, somewhere in the event processing, something (wxMac?) may be treating a right-click like a control-left-click. So, the app may be seeing two left-clicks in rapid succession with the second one having the control key modifier applied. The app still _shouldn't_ be treating two clicks with different modifiers as candidates for a double-click, but at least it makes more sense than treating two clicks of different buttons that way.

Kry, I don't think this is a duplicate of 174.
