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.

    I cannot reproduce the bug and it does not seem to be effecting other users. Please file a bug and include complete workflow and system details.

    ​Are you using High Sierra? It looks like that's the OS that it's occurring on. Latest of version of CC too.

    I am having the exact same problem. If I move the window/panel back to the main display, right click works. As soon as it's on a secondary monitor it quits working.

    I killed all my preferences and then rebuilt them... as soon as a panel is on the secondary monitor, I can't right click.

    This is on a trashcan Mac Pro with dual monitors, one Apple Cinema, one Dell. The monitor that it works on (Dell) is the one designated in the OS as the primary. Running OSX 10.13.
