    If the right click works normally, try a reboot.

    Highlight the text you want to copy, and then do a Control C (which means hold down the control button, and press the letter C, it does the same as copy). Control and V, does a paste.

    The other thing some websites disable the right click so that could be why you can get the menu.

    as said before the keyboard short cut for copy Ctrl and c gets round this Ctrl and v to paste Ctrx and x is cut

    My immediate reaction is that the right button switch on your mouse has broken !!!!
