Right Click doesn't show options for GM

Something odd started happening to me about 10 minutes ago. I can no longer right click an object to bring up the menu for actions like sending it to other layers. Instead, it just drags the screen around. Super odd, because I was working on my campaign 30  minutes ago and I was right clicking just fine! Luckily, there's a workaround as noted by Eivind: Eivind  said: Dapper, as a work-around: You can use hotkeys to go around the right mouse-click issue. It's annoying but workable. Layers Ctrl/Cmd+O: Switch to token layer Ctrl/Cmd+K: Switch to GM layer Ctrl/Cmd+M: Switch to map layer Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+O: Move selected object to token layer Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+K: Move selected object to GM layer Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+M: Move selected object to map layer Tools Ctrl/Cmd+S: Select tool Ctrl/Cmd+F: Brush tool Ctrl/Cmd+G: Text tool Ctrl/Cmd+U: Add selected object(s) to turn tracker Ctrl/Cmd+A: Select everything on current layer Ctrl/Cmd+C: Copy selected object(s) Ctrl/Cmd+V: Paste copied object(s) Ctrl/Cmd+Z: Undo previous action Backspace or Delete: Delete selected object(s) Drawing Shift+Draw: Draw snapped to grid (straight lines, polygon tool points on edges, squares, etc.) Moving and Resizing Alt+Mouse Wheel: Zoom Alt+Resize: Ignore grid snapping Alt+Move: Ignore grid snapping Right Mouse Button+Drag: Pan For the devs: I took a look at the help menu and I found that holding right mouse button is meant to make it pan - which is what I am experiencing. I think the problem is the website is not distinguishing between simple right-clicks and dragging/holding the mouse down.
I have the same problem, never experienced it till today. Edit: Tried using Chrome and Firefox and the problem persists in both, so the problem is not browser-specific. Both browsers have the latest updates and are running without extensions. Second edit: It's almost like the website is recognizing right mouseclicks as the scroll wheel click - it changes your view depending on where you drag the mouse after right-clicking, right-clicking again makes it stop and you can move the mouse normally. However the little cross that normally shows when you mousewheel click is not visible.

Thanks for the work-around, Eivind. :) *scurries off to make finishing touches on campaign*
Anytime! Hopefully they'll have this sorted out soon - I have a session tomorrow xD.
Still alot of options that we cant do, like the grid alignment.  Hope this gets fixed soon.
Hmm....I'm finding that the hot key shortcuts listed only change which layer you're viewing/controlling, not changing the what layers the tokens/objects themselves go to. Since I'd generally kept monster tokens on the GM layer, there seems no way to switch them to the token layer when I'm ready to use them. At least I discovered it early though. Now I just have to recreate the tokens on the token layer & "hide" them within the "fog of war" sections until I'm ready to use them.  Still, thanks much for the assist, Eivind - although that doesn't seem to work as I'd hoped, the willingness to help is appreciated nonetheless. (:
Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+O: Move selected object to token layer Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+K: Move selected object to GM layer Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+M: Move selected object to map layer Left click the token you want to move, hit Ctrl+Shift+K and away to the GM layer it goes. :)
I've also suddenly started having this problem as of this morning when I started working on maps about thirty minutes ago. It wasn't an issue as of 01:00 AM EST last night when I was running a session. Help us, devs!

(: Like Dapperduck posted, there are commands that would handle this. They're included in my earlier post. In other news, there is another thread on the help section of the forum with the same problem as this one - it seems to be affecting pretty much everyone. Hopefully they'll get on this quickly :).
This was my fault. An unfinished update went out on accident a while ago. It's been reverted and this should now be fixed. Sorry for the trouble. (You need to reload if you are in a game currently to receive the fix.)
No trouble at all, thanks for the quick fix, Riley! :D I really appreciate how quick the devs are to fix issues like these and explain server downtimes, it really means a lot!
Was worried this would mess up my sunday game - cheers for the quick fix!
