hi, I remember I've seen such an object once, but can't remember which one it was.

[hid]? [receivecanvas]? maybe [tot]?

I don't think it was neither of these... it was one that was specific to mouse interaction, I remember it had in the example also the scrolling parameter from that think in the middle of the mouse between buttons.

And I tried [receivecanvas] but I don't get the right click information from it.

what do you want to achieve in the first place?

I wanna see how you can get the right click information into an object, and I want to use this to attempt to fix a quite old and known bug in cyclone/active (since cyclone 0.1).

For linux, it outputs information when you right click on the canvas window and it shouldn't. Funny how this doesn't happen for windows or mac, just linux... for that matter, maybe we could investigate why linux behaves differently - could this be a bug? For more info, see https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/issues/390

thanks

Well, I tried it now in Linux, and it does work in Linux, but not macOS. I think this is actually a Pd issue with canvas messages that is affecting both cyclone/active and iemguts/receivecanvas objects (and potentially more). So I guess I'm opening an issue on vanilla's github about it.

I don't think it's an "issue" (as in "bug") in Pd - unless you cannot access the canvas context menu on macOS (and *that* would probably have been noted before).

Yeah, I wouldn't call it a Pd bug, but it's an issue of internal messages inconsistencies that's affecting the behaviour of externals that rely on it.

For the record, [receivecanvas] has a different output for right click in macOS than in windows and linux. The cyclone/active issue affected only linux. They are not exactly the same issue then, but could be related. One way or another, I just made a hacky fix to cyclone/active by filtering out right click messages anyway.
