Mac Right-click Focus

[andrewgtibbetts]

Type: Bug

• in macOS, split-full-screen VSCode with any other app
• focus on the other app
• right-click on VSCode while focused in the other app
• now left-click to focus into VSCode

right-click is disabled in VSCode until I focus back into any other app and then left-click back into VSCode.

I cannot reproduce, do you maybe have some kind of window manager installed?

Btw the setting window.clickThroughInactive might have an impact.

[andrewgtibbetts]

Nope, no third-party window manager. Couple things though: 1) I use a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse that uses the Logi Options+ configuration software. So, I thought it might be the mouse+software, but I tested with a wired mouse and had the same issue. 2) as added info, ctrl + left-click also does not engage the contextual menu once you have right-clicked into VSCode from another app in split-full-screen, but, you can ctrl + left-click from the other app and get the contextual menu in VSCode.

[andrewgtibbetts]

Another bit of info: The issue happens when not in fullscreen, too. Fullscreen or windowed, no difference. Updated the title of this issue.

[andrewgtibbetts]

Well, this might be a macOS issue... I have found that if I right-click into Edge while focused in another app, and then left-click focus into Edge, I can still right-click but all cmd + action keystrokes and some left-clicks don't work. The plot thickens...so, I will close this issue since this has grown bigger than just VSCode.
