Secondary click using two fingers on Mac Trackpad

I am having trouble using the secondary click (right click) on MATLAB. In macOS there is a gesture to activate this command which is a click with two fingers on the trackpad. It works everywhere but MATLAB cannot recognise it correctly. Any suggestion?

Bump - Doesn't seem to have been fixed yet.

Still an issue

Still have this issue in 2024a. Works in the editor but not in the current folder or command window.

It is a known bug and it is being considered for a fix. You can follow below workarounds:

1)Use Control + Click instead of a two finger click or tap.

2)Use a mouse instead of the trackpad.

3)Reconfigure the trackpad's secondary click to use "Click in bottom left/right corner" instead of "Click or tap with two fingers". To do this:

• Go to Apple menu > System Preferences...
• Click Trackpad
• Under Secondary click, choose an option other than "Click or tap with two fingers"
