Use space bar on Mac keyboard to bring up menu ?

Something seems to have changed in the recent update to TVP 9.5.20.
Previously I had been able to click a frame on a layer with my Wacom stylus and press down on the Space bar which would bring up the menu (same as a right click on the layer with the mouse, except not using the mouse in this case) .
Now I find that after having updated to TVP 9.5.20 I can not do this anymore.
This is quite useful for me to not have to stop and reach for a mouse to right click when I want to have that menu pop up .

Can anyone tell me how to restore this function ?
I am using TVP on Macbook Pro and a Cintiq, running Mac OS 10.6

Hello !
On my Intel 10.6.7… it's still working
(but, without pressing the Space bar… to me, the menu is popping up by positioning the stylus arrow anywhere on the layer (except timeline) and just pressing the stylus-button)

I have my stylus buttons set up for other shortcuts , so my stylus button isn't set up for the RMB click.
I don't know why the Space bar won't activate the pop-up menu anymore. Do I need to reassign Space bar to be Right Mouse Button ?
In the Keyboard Shortcuts (in Preferences) I can't find the option to assign a key as RMB. Maybe I'm just not seeing it if it is there ?
It still works for me in an older version of TVP I have saved on my computer , but not in the updated version 9.5.20 .

EDIT: Never mind. Fixed it. I gave myself the clue . In the older version of TVP I looked at Keyboard Shortcuts and found Space Bar assigned to "Tools - Right Mouse Button" , so that told me I had been looking for the wrong shortcut name (I was looking for
"RMB" or
"Right Click" or
"Right Mouse Button" .... but it is listed as "
TOOLS : Right Mouse Button" ... I didn't search enough the first time ...
)

I didn't know anything about "Tools: Right Mouse Buttons" and had a look at my shortcuts. RMB is assigned to the space bar, but when pressing the space bar anywhere (Timeline, Tools, ...) nothing happens. It even don't works when I assign it to another button - tested with #.
But I am not on a Mac. I am on Win7/64. Could be a nice option to assign the RMB to a key
