Wrong right-click menu after double-clicking a component.

Previous behavior: Double left click on component selected whole component. Then right clicking component brought up same menu as if I had clicked the component in the browser tree.

 

Now the right click brings up same smaller menu no matter if I have double clicked or not.

Can you share some images or a video showing what you're seeing, as it's not clear from your description what's actually going on..

For example I want to open a component in an assembly. Previously I could double click the component in the view port. It turns blue/highlighted. If I then right-clicked the component (while it was highlighted) the menu presented was bigger and included for example the Open command. It was the same menu as if I right clicked the component in the browser tree.

 

Now this behavior does not work. The component looses it's highlight as soon as I right click and only a face of the component is highlighted and the right click menu only handles that face.

 

See video.

If you do exactly what you are doing up to the point where you right click to see the Context Menu.  Instead of keeping your cursor over the highlighted component, move off of it and then right click.  You will see the complete Context Menu you are desiring.  The attached animated GIF will show this which has not changed due to the update.

Maybe you previously had 'select component priority' on? If I turn component priority on, I get the behavior you are describing.

Both of your solutions work. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure something must have changed lately because the "double-click + right click" procedure is something I have done for a long time and it has stopped working like it did before. Pretty sure I have not needed to move the cursor from the component before right-clicking. Anyways...

Thanks @ewFFUKN 

 

We are hearing similar reports from others, so it sounds like you're right. We're looking into it.

 

Cheers,
