説明

What is the issue?

On iOS and iPadOS (perhaps other mobile/tablets too), in order to bring up context menu on web client, user must long press the screen. But once device is connected to external display (without touch capabilities), it’s no longer possible to invoke this action. In such case, it’s not possible to touch external display nor right click through connected touchpad or mouse. Ideally touchpad or mouse right click would still work along side long press; alternatively we could long press left mouse button to emulate touch screen’s long press.

Tested iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, Safari, Firefox 149.1 and Edge 146.3856.85 Web client 4.1.1

調査方針: The issue suggests that the context menu is triggered only by long press on touch devices. When connected to an external display without touch, users cannot invoke the context menu via right click or long press. The fix may involve detecting pointer capabilities and adding support for right click or long left click emulation. The relevant code is likely in the web client's JavaScript files handling context menu events. Look for event listeners for 'contextmenu', 'touchstart', or 'pointerdown' in the Transmission web interface source.
