Right Click inside artboard is not working

Seriously Adobe, this bug has been up since 2months back by now and it's getting frustrating to not be able to right click inside Illustrator.

You have not you even giving us an update on whats wrong and when it will be fixed? This is a serious issue, don't you think?

Paying to use Illustrator which doesn't work the way it suppose to. Not nice.

okay, I got mine working useing the monitors on the right side of the laptop fix. So annoying. I have two displays next to my laptop. one via HDMI and one via thunderbolt. as long as they are configured on the right side then right click works just fine. As soon as one of them moves to the left in display properties the problem immediately comes back regardless of what monitor is primary or which screen illustrator is on. Running El Capitan on a current model 15" Macbook Pro.

I can't believe it! Now I'm in panic. I just upgraded to a new macbook pro, connected two new monitors via thunderbolt, updated my OS to El Capitan, and just purchased and installed the latest Illustrator CC.. now I find that I can't right click, so I can't perform my work efficiently... come on Adobe, what's up with that!! seems that this has been going on for a while and there is no correction yet.

I have the same problem!!! with 2 screen! ADOBE WAKE UP!!! Your applications are too expensive to be full of bugs!

+1 for fix the bug already, please.

Thanks to everyone posting their solutions.

None of the workarounds have been effective in my case so far: macbook pro + thunderbird display + el capitan update + illustrator cc 2015 = cannot right click.

Found a solution

Thanks to my co worker, hopefully this helps others. I had not updated to El Capitan when this bug began. What had happened is Ai updated and forgot my monitor preferences, or changed  the way their monitor preferences work.

Previously I could work from any monitor (whether it was the primary monitor or not) and click in whatever monitor .ai was launched in. The display was automatically detected and it would show me the tool panel in that window. He saw in the my third monitor, in the right corner, a portion of the tool bar was showing up.

This is how we sort of got it to work:

Close .ai. Open settings, displays, arrange displays. Drag the header of the primary display to whatever monitor you want to use as your primary display. Launch .ai, it should appear in the window you set as the primary. Things should work fine from there.

I haven't had the issue since, but why it happened blows my mind. After doing that, I could move the environment around and use it on any monitor with right click available on every display. I think it was registering the right clicks on another screen. Odd fix, but I haven't had any problems since. I also havent updated to El Capitan, when I do, I'll report back any errors and fixes I find (assuming the issue presents itself again).

One more thing, this file creates when you close the Illustrator. So you have to delete the file and open lllustrator to make the contest menu work with the left-set-external monitor.

The temporary solution is described here: El Capitan update seems to have broken my right click just in Illustrator.... Any help would be appreciated

My external monitor is set to be on left. I haven't used automator to delete the file which causes the problem and I do it manually each time when I run Illustrator with external monitor on the left. Again, the file you need to delete is located in ~Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 19 Settings/en_US/WSMgrCfg/WSMgrCfg

Do not touch the folder itself, jus the file. Do not afraid to delete it. After relaunch of the Illustrator it appears again.

Any suggestions on how to get Adobe's attention to this matter?  This is very, very frustrating? UGH!!!!!!!!!!

ADOBE! Wake up. We need a solution for this.
