disable 'Move here' 'Copy here on shapes right click menu

[lydya]

Hello,

Is there a way to disable the 'Move here' 'Copy here' menu you get when you
right-click on a shape?
I most of the time get this menu instead of getting the usual full autoshape
menu although I'm not trying to move the shape.

Thanks for your help.

I think it will help if you change your mouse speed slower. In Windows,
select "Start" | "Control Panel" menu item, launch "Mouse" applet, in
"Pointer Options" tab, move the "pointer speed" slider towards "Slow" by a
notch or two, click OK. Now see if this helps in PowerPoint.

Unfortunately not. The reason this happens, when you right click on the
shape, your key is depressed and you unconsciously move your mouse, which
moves the shape slightly initiating the pop up.

Thanks Chirag and Michael,
Slowing the mouse pointer doesn't help.
I'll see if using a mouse pad helps.
Bye

I found a quick right click gives the "normal" menu and a hold the right
button down - let it go gives the move here etc menu. As above this is
because the mouse moves slightly with a slow click
