I have a Panasonic fz-g1 table running windows 7 and chrome.  The tablet it responsible for running a user interface for a machine.  Some buttons on the UI require the user to hold the button anywhere from 2 - 20 seconds.  Upon release of the momentary button, the right click menu pops up and blocks half of the screen.  I have all windows settings set to disable a press and hold right click, in fact if you press and hold anywhere in windows there is not right click menu popping up, just within chrome!  How can I disable this?  Thanks.

Sounds like Chrome is disregarding operating system level setting.

As a workaround, you can create (or find) an extension that simply calls preventDefault() when the contextmenu event fires.

For a long term solution, you can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.
Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.
