Thanks everyone for your quick reply. Cor-el You're welcome.
Can you clarify what worked for you? One of the add-ons was the reason, i actually dont know which one because i removed some add-ons that isnt necessary for me and than it worked perfectly. Btw, i found that pressing 'left alt'+ 'left shift' + 'num lock' enables num keys to controls mouse cursor and after enable that option, pressing num 5 on that tab brings the context menu. But ur solution is also helpful and i am gonna use that way because sometimes num keys are necessary to do some quick works. Thanks again. 'cor-el #answer-1024894 said' You're welcome.
