No right clicks on my Windows 8.1 Tablet (Dell Venue 8 Pro)

[olidie]

Hi,

I bought a Dell Venue 8 Pro Win 8.1 (32bit) tablet to have a small and light device to be able to do quick edits of unexpected photos or surprise assignments while on the go. So far it seems that the tablet is quite capable to fulfill this task. BUT...

Photo Mechanic works fine except for right clicks. Usually a right click is achived by pressing longer but this doesn't work with PM. I can get the right click menu in the contact sheet with a two finger click (this only works in PM) but the I am not able to select anything from the contextmenu.

I have updated all relevant firmware and driver. Other programms work fine (except for Photoshop ;-) )

Does anyone alse have this problem or maybe even knows a solution?

Regards,
Oliver

One observation I would like to share. It is still possible to get the right click context menu by tapping with two fingers on a picture. But then no further selection can be made. PM is only software I encountered so far that reacts to these two fingers taps.

OK, so which method does work fully for you?

Only a long-tap for context menu allows me to select any of the item from this menu. Two finger tap just brings up the menu without any possiblity of selecting an item.

So only long tap works but that's absolutely fine with me.
