    Hi guys and girls,
    Just a quick one, I believe my right-click has stopped working on my AAO (its an A150 as well btw)
    I have ubuntu (intrepid) installed just so you are aware.

    I can right-click with a mouse, but the built in keys won't let me do it.
    As soon as I start and move my cursor with the touchpad, the right-click window appears as though I had touched it but I actually hadn't.
    This also now only lets me open up ONE application at a time before connecting a mouse and right-clicking anywhere with it.
    Why is this - why can't I open up more than one thing without a right-click.

    I have tried stuff already, and know it isn't a fault with the OS, so there must be another reason as I had this problem whilst using it on my skiing holiday but it stopped after a day. This has now been going on for almost a week.

    PLEASE HELP
    it is rather frustrating without it

    Thanks in advance,
    Jay

    thanks, I did try searching for this issue and didn't actually see this thread.

    unfortunately, no clear help maybe I should send it back for it to be fixed . . . .
