I hooked up a Kensington ADB trackball to my G3 Mac and in both OS9 and OSX when I right click on the desktop (the trackball has two buttons), I don't get a contextual menu, but rather it seems like a random (seemingly) item on the desktop (or inside folders) gets highlighted. When I click a second time, another item (usually to the right of the previously selected one) gets highlighted and nothing else happens (when I'm on the right-most item)

When I right click on the dock's trashcan in OSX, I get a warning sound (froggy for me :-) ). No context menu :-(

Any ideas if this is normal?

And if it is, how do I make the right click open contextual menus?

PS. I have 10.2 (Jaguar) on the G3.

PS. I also tried it on OS9.2x and the same thing happens.

PS. I also tried it on a 68k Mac with System7.5.x and the same thing happens.

Cheers
