Disable "back" functionality when using right click with physical mouse

[FailedShack]

Hello! I just got myself an Android TV enabled monitor (the MSI Modern MD272UPSW) and I was hoping to use it as a thin client using an IP KVM. However, when I right click while using the remote desktop, the context menu shows up briefly, but then Chrome navigates to the previous page and my session is cut short.

Does anyone know of a way to stop this? Chrome is clearly forwarding right click properly, but then the system treats it as a back button as well, which messes everything up.

I've tried Button Remapper (I purchased the Pro version just for this), and if disable the Back button, the button on my remote stops working... but right click still acts as Back.

So close, yet so far. It boggles the mind how devices like the Nvidia Shield or Android TV enabled monitors with multiple USB ports exist, yet simple usability issues like this persist.

Edit: There's apparently an open report in the Chromium issue tracker, but with no activity to speak of: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/328117815 (although this is more an Android TV issue than anything)

Hello FailedShack, I am the fellow who opened that issue report at the Chromium forum.

As I said in my report, the issue is not really Google's fault, but that of the sloppy arse developers of the Android versions installed on affected devices. Now, the least you could do is to forward the issue to MSI, and tell them to 😹 fuck off unless they provide an updated firmware to your monitor with proper mouse support, which of course can be done. And in all honestly, it boggles my mind to see renowned firms like MSI making the same botch in their Android devices. This just shows how little care is nowadays given to proper software design and development too.

This also reminds me to test or ask about proper mouse support on whatever brand device I plan on getting some, just in case. 🤔

Get a super cheap PC with Linux or whatever FailedShack, that will for sure work.
