Well "slow computer" catches my eye there, but maybe you're accidentally pressing right-mouseclick? Try right-clicking the top of the window(with the close/mini/maximise buttons) and click "VM preferances" and check "3-button" mouse.

Happens to me when I'm working on a large project. (Very large. 20 MB.) Make sure that the program is NOT running. It slows it down SO MUCH. Be patient with it.

It's sometimes like that. I'm working a (hopefully 1s1s) project and I find that annoying too.

The Scratch Team did this. It is to make it easier for computers with one-button mouses (often Macs) to acually use scratch. Holding the left-button for a little bit brings up the right-click menu.

Ah, yep! That sounds like the culprit. And if a computer is super slow, you kind of have to hold the mouse button down a long time to wait for it to make the blocks pop up. So that makes the right-click menu come up.
Help Scratchers make the leap to 2.0!

how do you use the left click in scratch.
When Sprite Clicked, and various other blocks. Check the Scratch Wiki at http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/

Come on veggie, do a link. >_>
And also, Sparks was talking about clicking to drag a script.
