I upgraded from Mojave to Monterey lately. I used to be able to right-click on processes in Activity Monitor and click Quit or Force Quit, but now I can't. I guess there's the "Stop" button, but has anyone else noticed this?
 
Dunno. I'm not getting a right-click menu on Big Sur nor on High Sierra.

Moreover: in Catalina there's no right-click either.
Btw.: the right-click has always been very rare: only a few applications use it.
;JOOP!

Yes -- I seem to remember doing that in Mojave, also. And now that I've upgraded, it doesn't work in Monterey. Booooo!

I don't remember this ever working in any old version of OS X. Are you thinking of when you right click on an app in the Dock?

Did you go into preferences - Mouse and turn on right click? Right click is turned off by default for some stupid reason!

because it sucks :)

I have been a Mac user since I was 4 years old and I am used to "one-button mice."
