komputes, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

As the Apple mouse has a single button and the keyboard does not have a contextual menu button, it is effectively impossible to bring up a menu without changing mouse/keyboard. This issue has been discussed in this spec draft: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Specs/MouseTweaks/Details Quote: Apple PowerMac traditionally have a single-button mouse. You can access the context menu with a modifier key, but the click&hold is more intuitive for many. A problem I can foresee is that ctrl is currently used to select multiple items. Alt and Windows key are used as the Movement ket in Sys > Prefs > Windows.
