Recently I have updated/upgraded to version 10.2, free personal edition. I think right after the upgrade, the right-mouse-button behaviors changed.

I am a long time unix user, I always high light a selection in the term, and then double click the right-mouse-button to paste the selection in the place where the mouse cursor is.

But now, the context menu pops up when clicking the RMB regardless one-clicking or double clicking, and I have select the paste from the menu to paste the selection.

I don't see the reason why MobaXterm should change the behave in such a way that is annoying and inconvenient.

How can I change it back to the way before like any other Xterm apps?

I found the setting: Settings | Terminal

The check box Paste using right-click is default to unchecked.

check this box, and restart MobaXterm, the RMB double click will paste the selection without the context menu popping up.
