Right-click menu works in:
 Safari 3.1.2 (Vista)
 IE 7.0.6001.18000IC (Vista)

Does not work on my Google Chrome 0.2.149.27, Official Build 1583
 Right-click doesn't work on ANY of the spreadsheet cells.

I have this same issue, its a major issue for me since I use google docs for work and 
love google chrome ;)
Comment 3 by defconoii, Sep 03, 2008
I also get no right click menu in any document with google docs
Comment 4 by bartlomiej.siwek, Sep 03, 2008
While editing a Document in Google Docs menu shows only at the bottom of the screen.

i get the menu when clicking twice the right mouse button, sometimes i have to click 
three times and sometimes it never appears. if i move the mouse and click again it 
works after two clicks, seems to be some problems with the borders of the cells.

(windows XP)

btw. did no one of google use spreadsheet with chrome before, very strange

i can confirm the same issue.  have to right-click multiple times to get menu to 
appear.  sometimes have to click off-cell and then back to the cell i want.

it probably is a js issue -- similar to how some facebook js features are broken.

Thanks for the report.

This issue has been fixed on the trunk @ r1299.

The problem was the dispatch order for certain javascript events in chrome:

Correct sequence on right click:
(1) mousedown (button=2)
(2) contextmenu (button=2)
(3) mouseup (button=2)

Chrome was getting (2,3 swapped):

(1) mousedown (button=2)
(2) mouseup (button=2)
(3) contextmenu (button=2)

Status: Fixed

Correction, I pasted the sequences above (swapped) !

The actual correct sequence is:

(1) mousedown (button=2)
(2) mouseup (button=2)
(3) contextmenu (button=2)

And chrome's sequence was:

(1) mousedown (button=2)
(2) contextmenu (button=2)
(3) mouseup (button=2)

This indicates 'fixed' but right-click appears to not be working in google docs 
(spreadsheets).

Should be fixed in 0.2.149.30 according to changelog.

It doesn't look like this bug was completely fixed.  If you right click on the edge 
of a cell in Google Spreadsheets, and then move the mouse (while holding down the 
right mouse button), the cell moves with you.  You can inadvertently move a cell, 
which is bad.  I don't see this issue on FF 3.
Comment 13 by eroman@chromium.org, Sep 24, 2008
jcmiller77: right-click-drag reproduces for me in firefox3 and safari3 as well. the 
main difference being that in firefox3 it does not subsequently open the menu, 
whereas in safari3/chromium it does.

i can file a bug with spreadsheets about this, but I think the chromium-specific 
issue has been addressed here.
