[Solved]Right click on desktop no longer works

Post by delboy58 »

Anyone running cinnamon 17.1 /64bit have the same problem? or is it just me.
Think one of the recent updates broke it.

Reboot doesnt fix, but thx anyway.Have found the cause
System settings - desktop- if show dektop icons is unticked, right- click dektop menu doesnt appear.
Its a bug.The workaround is to tick the box , and untick all the other ones.Additional icons have to be deleted
manually.I dont know where you go to report it, so will just mark it as solved.
