Tk's always said that the Right button is button 3 on all platforms
(well, except perhaps the Mac; that's not a platform I know in detail)
as that is something that was adopted wholesale from its Unix/X11
heritage (where mice had three buttons, men were real men, women were
real women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real
small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri). That makes it (probably) a
bug in the script creating the GUI itself. If it is your script, fix the
problem, lather, rinse, repeat. Otherwise, gently remind the author that
they've made a minor error... ;-)
