Redmine

Everything works fine with Firefox3 final (Win32) and Safari 3.1.1 (Win32).
What OS are you using ?

Mac OS X Leopard. I should mention that I'm seeing the same problem on the issues list on redmine.org itself. On my own install, I am logged as an administrative user, so I doubt it's a security problem.

I also just gave it a try on demo.redmine.org, logged in as guest/guest, with the same result. Nothing happens when right clicking on a selected issue on the issues page.

Could I be missing something here? I assume the intended behavior is that when an issue is checked from the list, right clicking on that issue, on any area other than the hyperlink, will open the shortcut menu. Is that correct?

This is correct.
Another issue (#1398) was reported with Mac OS X. But it's the opposite: the browser's default context menu can not be displayed.

I did some follow up testing on Windows using Parallels and noticed the following. On the sand box site, using Firefox on Windows the shortcut menu does work. This exact same page does not work on the Mac. So definitely an issue with FF and Safari on OS X.

On my own install, however, I cannot even get the shortcut menu to work in Windows. I am seeing a difference between the two. On the Demo and main Redmine sites, selecting/clicking on an issue causes the entire row to change state, becoming a dark blue background. This is not the case on my own install, where I can check an issue and hovering over it makes it yellow, but the entire row doesn't become selected. I deployed directly from SVN, and am running version 0.7.devel.1556. I tried using both the default and alternate themes. Everything else seems to work.

Any ideas what's going on?

I did a little more research into this and found some descrepancies between my install and the one running here and on demo by comparing the markup. Note I am running the latest version of Redmine from SVN on Ubuntu/Apache/Mongrel. The HTML header for redmine.org contains this single JS file:

<script src="/javascripts/main.js?1207248491" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src="/javascripts/prototype.js?1213163055" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/javascripts/effects.js?1213163055" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/javascripts/dragdrop.js?1213163055" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/javascripts/controls.js?1213163055" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/javascripts/application.js?1212471858" type="text/javascript"></script>

In addition, this site is running the redmine theme, which is not available in SVN. I am running alternate.

What's up with the different javascript files?

One more udpate on this one. The problem I was having was with the version of prototype.js. My install was using the latest, 1.6.01, where as the current version on redmine.org, and in SVN, is only 1.5.

How the heck did I get 1.6 in my install??? When I deleted the file, than ran an svn update to restore, all is well.

NOTE: The context menus do not work at all in FF 3 on the Mac in any environment.

How the heck did I get 1.6 in my install

Maybe rake rails:update

Thanks for the tip, maybe that was it. In anycase, I deleted the file and did a fresh update. I now see the project is updated to be using Prototype 1.6.1 anyways. So now I can select issue rows, like in other Redmine instances, but the shortcut menu still does not work in FF 3 on the Mac, at all. In Safari on the Mac, it works a little in the sense that it appears, but you can't select any items from the menu.

Hoping we can get this working on the Mac; the issues are tough to deal with without access to the shortcut menu. I'm sure many innovative users who would love Redmine are on the Mac platform.

Great product, BTW. Best downloadable issue tracker I've come across, OSS or not.

I can confirm this bug. Configuration: Redmine HEAD, Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 2.1, with FF 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.04.

Work fine at r1866, FF3.0.1 on XP SP2, with this distant server config:

15:03 ook@bearnaise ~/work/redmine% ruby script/about RAILS_ENV=production

I have a similar issue.

Server side - Ubuntu 8.0.4, Redmine 0.7.3.1932 (MySQL) (latest stable release) installed with Ruby on Rails 2.0.2 and Apache 2.

On the client side, my setup displays the correct Issues list right-click context menu when using IE 6.0.2 but when using Firefox 2.0.0.17 the context menu is not available.

I had to manually amend the context_menu.js as per instructions on http://www.redmine.org/issues/show/1655 to get the context working in IE.
