My new Mac is just two months old.
I’ll be typing away, clicking on something, and suddenly drop-down menus keep appearing as if I right-clicked! Why is my Mac right-clicking when I’m not trying to? Am I doing something wrong?
So weird, can you make sure there isn’t anything moving on your Mac? Like a cat walking?
If your Mac keeps right-clicking when you’re not trying to, it could be really frustrating.
Maybe you’d better check the settings:
Go to Apple menu > System Settings > Trackpad, and make sure “Secondary click” is set to something you’re comfortable with. If it’s set to “Click with two fingers” try changing it to something else and see if that helps.
The Control key triggers a right-click when you press it while clicking the primary mouse button (or on a Magic Trackpad). So, double-check that you’re not accidentally pressing the Control key while clicking.
Have you ever used the external mouse? If you’re using an external mouse, it could be causing the problem. Try disconnecting it and see if the issue persists~
No cat! So it is so strange.
OK, thanks. Let me disconnect.
