Grayed-Out Right Click Menu

Bob James · 12 Nov 2010, 19:11

I know this was a problem before SU8 came out, but I still have the right-click menu grayed out almost all of the time.
Didn’t someone figure out that it was someone’s ruby that was causing it?

If so, could someone give me a steer in the right direction?

Thomthom and DaveR suggested replace all of Fredo's plugins-which I did.
But the problem is still there.

Does anyone remember any other "naughty" plugins that cause this

It is reallyannoying and causes a largeincrease in time having to go to the edit menu each time.

Have a look at this thread: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=27941
I made two snippets to track down the cause of the issues.

This one let you see how many Command objects you are using. If you install that and type stat into the Ruby Console when you start - what does it report?

If you see the number stat returns increase after you right click on thing you can try to use this to get an idea of what is causing the problems.

Note. I had the problem with ver 7.1. Did not have the problem with Ver 8 until recently. Now, I have the problem every so often. Not sure what is causing it after such a long time of not having this particular problem. Trying to track down what it is I am doing that may be causing this problem again.

Hey, I thought I was alone with this problem.

Try to update all your Fredo plugins and have the latest 3.4 and 3.5 of Fredo Lib.

I added Fredo Lib 3.4 and, at least for now, that seems to solve the problem.

Comments Fredo?

Bob,

You need also to upgrade Tools On Surface if you have it installed.

Thanks, I updated all of your plug-ins.

Arrrrgggghhh

Still have the problem: the previous "fix" helped, but not for long.

thomthom · 18 Nov 2010, 08:17

Did you look at the links I posted earlier that might help you work out which plugins cause it?

I'm going to give contexmenuoptimizer.rb a try. If that doesn't work I'll yield to desperation and try to get rid of some plugins.

@notareal: I re-read them but did not really understand them enough to try them

If you try one of the scripts I posted you can try to track down which plugins it is..

TT: used your scripts and all now seems to be okay. It was nothing obvious but seems to have been a script left over from my 3D mouse: it kept looking for a central rotation point. It kept repeating it over and over in the ruby console.

Many thanks - sure hope that problem is really gone. Been staying steady at 451/1000.
