Answer 1

I have closely analyse the issue and come to the conclusion as :

• Problem is on Mouse Down and Mouse Up.
• As I have seen when I have mouse down and drag the port and then press right mouse down. then what happen is mouse down called in the canvas.js.

• Then when right mouse up then mouse up of canvas.js called and make mouseDown = false.

  this.html.bind("mouseup touchend", $.proxy(function(event)
      {
          if (this.mouseDown === false)
              return;
  
          event = this._getEvent(event);
  
          this.mouseDown = false;// it makes mouseDown false
          this.onMouseUp();
      }, this));
  

• So for know quick fix I have ckecked if right mouse up and right mouse down then return as:

In Mouse Down :

    this.html.bind("mousedown touchstart", $.proxy(function(event)
        {                
           event.preventDefault();

           if(event.which == 3)//added this in the mouse down
              return;

           event = this._getEvent(event);

           this.mouseDownX = event.clientX;
           this.mouseDownY = event.clientY;
           var pos = this.fromDocumentToCanvasCoordinate(event.clientX, event.clientY);
           this.mouseDown = true;
           this.onMouseDown(pos.x, pos.y);
    }, this));

In Mouse Up :

this.html.bind("mouseup touchend", $.proxy(function(event)
        {
            //added extra condition for right click
            if (this.mouseDown === false || event.which == 3)
                return;

            event = this._getEvent(event);

            this.mouseDown = false;// it makes mouseDown false
            this.onMouseUp();
        }, this));

• After above modification the problem is resolved, I might be wrong. Please correct me, as i have not tested it deeply but ya its working. I need your guidance on that. Sorry for altering the code.

THANKS YOU SO MUCH:)
