Right Click not working in Defold Editor

Right click is not working anywhere in the Defold Editor.

I started following the Side Scroller Tutorial. It tells me to add a Sprite Component by right clicking on the root of the Outline. Nothing happens. Nothing happens when I right-click on the Assets view or anywhere else.

Searching the forum, I don’t see anyone mentioning this issue. Is it a known problem?

I’m using Defold 1.2.168 on a MacBook running Mojave 10.14.6. Right click is working fine in every other program.

This is happening for me as well. Same MacOS version and Defold version.

Same here. Mouse right click stopped working after I updated Defold from within the editor. It looks like it is because of the latest update. To solve the problem for now, I downloaded the version from the main website and installed it again, I won’t be clicking on the update until they have a build that fixes the mouse right click issue.

I downloaded mine from this page: https://defold.com/download/

What is the version number of the one that works for you?

It is possible that the download link on the main website was updated just after I downloaded it.

This is build information:

[build]
version = 1.2.168
editor_sha1 = 39749b921d8e37b9a669f4096a3faa6d7252dec5
engine_sha1 = e22f6d2f81e7c53ebcbfefe703ff22ce5da252c0
time = 2020-04-28T07:54:00.238035
channel = editor-alpha

Looks like you are right. I guess I’ll go and download an older version.
[build]
version = 1.2.168
editor_sha1 = 391d341ed522bcabdeb6b7eaa37151c0ac68d534
engine_sha1 = e22f6d2f81e7c53ebcbfefe703ff22ce5da252c0
time = 2020-05-21T20:47:46.737878
channel = editor-alpha

That fixed it. I downloaded the same version you have.

If anyone else needs it, the dmg file is here: https://d.defold.com/archive/e22f6d2f81e7c53ebcbfefe703ff22ce5da252c0/editor-alpha/editor2/Defold-x86_64-darwin.dmg

The latest release shown in github is https://github.com/defold/defold/releases and it was published on April 20th. I hope we didn’t download a compromised code. If anyone from the Defold team can shed light on this, that would be great.

I tested on latest and it does work for me with High Sierra.

This is the version that is working for me and oeloeloel . If you see the small blue link at the bottom right that says ‘Update Available’. If you download that update, it won’t work.

I just let it update again and it’s still working for me.

It could be a bad build cached somehow. Or a change which is only broken in newer MacOS versions?

It could be because I am running Mojave 10.14.6. I can’t seem to find a way to list what fixes are included in this mysterious update.

It should be in the commit history.

Sure, we can see all commits and all branches. The thing that I am trying to figure out is what build resulted in this update. Maybe if we look at some of the Github actions in the repo.

It would be under here I think https://github.com/defold/defold/actions?query=workflow%3A"CI+-+Editor+Only"

https://github.com/defold/defold/runs/697603004?check_suite_focus=true this one (the latest) matches the hash. You can see it under Release editor.

TIL the hash used is of the commit.

https://github.com/defold/defold/commit/391d341ed522bcabdeb6b7eaa37151c0ac68d534

Yes, that’s it. Thanks. :+1:

Not much has changed in the editor. We made a small fix for dark mode though… What does the editor log say? Help - show logs

Unfortunately, the logs don’t say much:

I’m unable to reproduce the problem as well. @jsguru right click doesn’t work in the Assets panel and not in the Outline?

Hi @britzl, right click does not work on any panel. Are you also running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6?
