Authors unable to access right-click options on abstract form

Hi,

I’m hearing from our authors that they are unable to access the right-click options when filling out the abstract form. Our authors report that when they try to right-click on the abstract field, they don’t see any context menu or options appear. This is making it very difficult for them to perform basic tasks like copying and pasting text into the abstract. They can simply paste the text of the abstract using ctr+v, but they can’t do it by right-clicking and choosing the paste option. They can do it right on other forms like title, and keywords! Any guidance or advice you can offer to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @aymen,

Could you please indicate which version of OJS you’re using (e.g. 3.4.0-8)?

Hi @rcgillis,

Yes, it is 3.4.0-8.

Thanks for following up.

Hi @aymen,

I tested this and was not able to duplicate the issue. I could right click just fine. I wonder if this is a function of your browser behaviour? I tested using a Chromium-based browser (Brave)? Whereas you might be using a different one?

Still the same whether on Firefox or Brave!

Thanks!

Same issue 3.4.0.5

Please refer here and file a bug i think? I also encounter this problem on different system then ojs. I dont know if this is on tinymce side.

Hi!

I’ve just created an issue for that: Context menu of TinyMCE is overriding the default context menu · Issue #10862 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub, I guess it must be pretty easy to get it fixed :slight_smile:

Best,
