Unable to Right Click (Secondary Click) in After Effects on second monitor?

Hi there-thanks in advance for any help!

I seem to have run into an issue on after effects, I am using a Macbook Pro-Retina 2014 on High Sierra.

When I connect my computer to a monitor and use it as a dual display, I am unable to right click, as well as use any drop down menus: such as for blending modes.

The issue isn't with my screen or mouse as I can right click elsewhere such as on my desktop and other applications just not in After Effects.

Currently using : After Effects CC (2017)

Any help appreciated many thanks!

Seth

Hello.

I had the exact same issue with After Effects.

I ended up finding a way to deal with it.

In the Mission Control preference panel, you have to uncheck the "screens have their own spaces" (sorry, I'm french, i dont know the exact terms used in the english version of macOS). That's the last checkbox in the list.

After a restart, the right click drop down menus are back on my second screen (on both After Effects CC 2017 and 2018)

Hope it will work for you.

Let me know.

Same issue here!

macOS High Sierra, AfterEffects 2018 v15.0.0, Magic Mouse / Wacom Intus Pro

When the timeline panel is in a different monitor than the other windows... right-click not working. Not with the trackpad, not with the mouse.

Please fix this.

Same problem here. This bug is terrible. I'm assuming it's a combination between:

macOS High Sierra

After Effects 2018 v15.0.0

Right-click works on my second monitor for all applications, except for AE.

Same issue here - thought I was going nuts or potentially a conflict with my Wacom

I discovered while making the bug report that on the Mac Display settings, the monitor with the White Bar (your Main Monitor) the context menu works. Any secondary or alternate display do not work. - changing the white bar to a different monitor will break the right click functionality on both monitors until After Effects is rebooted.

I have the same problem although strangely it is only happening on my third monitor, if i move the window over to the second monitor its fine

I'm using High Sierra (MacOS 10.13) & CC 15.0 and the symptom is like below image.

I found right click doesn't work when timeline panel, project panel, and composition panel are separated on secondary monitor.

Have all of you tried it with the new version of AE that released last week?

I have and it still is happening. I reset preferences, and even uninstalled and re-installed AE.

Same issue reported here - all updates have been made to the latest versions - but it looks like only on my personal iMac (2011) - my work Mac Pro seems to work alright
