Hi All --

-- My sister-in-law asked me to look at a problem on her fairly new
iMac, and although I was able to sort something out, use of the iMac
was greatly hindered by unwanted appearance of drop-down menus. For
example, trying to log into gmail, if you clicked on the box for
username, up would come a drop-down menu starting with Copy / Edit /
Paste. Clicking anywhere on a page in most applications also would
bring up these menus.

-- Mostly the menu would disappear on typing Return, and usually the
box could then be typed into. Sometimes, though, clicking on a blank
box would not select it. I tried to run Repair Permissions on her
machine, but although I could select her main drive, I was unable to
select the RP option.

-- Has anyone any ideas on this? The iMac does have a wireless
keyboard (which I'm unfamiliar with), but can't think that this would
be relevant. I couldn't find anything useful on Apple Help regarding
menus. TIA.
