I have a serious problem with right clicking. When ever I try to open the contextual menu in certain applications like the iWork Suite, MS Office or Evernote, I get the beach ball.

I've completely formated my Mac and 3 days later I notice the problem is persisting. Has anyone ever experienced this issue ?

I am running 10.8.2.

    Is there anything interesting in Console? You could try disabling all services in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services or uninstalling applications that have added other context menu items.

  • Are you using a third-party mouse, Apple mouse, or track-pad? Just curious if you have third-party drivers running as well. eg. Logitech, etc

  • I've uninstalled the Logitech drivers and also an app which I thought might be the cause. Still I am experiencing this problem. Also there are no Services directories in ~/Library/ or /Library/. Where else can I look for possible culprits?

After looking in /Library/Contextual Menu Items/ I noticed that even after uninstalling the app which I suspected was causing the problem, a plugin was still present. Deleting it has resolved the issue.

The app in question was Antidote by Druide Software.

    Wow merci, j'aurais jamais pensé que c'est ce plugin qui causait le problème !

    Won't the French Académie object to the word "plugin"?
