After being frustrated with the "will control right-click work or not" 
(since it seemed it kind of worked sometimes but not most times here), 
we went and replaced the ckeditor included with RT (in 
/$RTHOME/share/html/NoAuth/RichText/ckeditor with a newer version from 
their website (ckeditor.com). We popped in a 
/$RTHOME/share/html/NoAuth/RichText/ckeditor/config.js that looks like this:

/*
Copyright (c) 2003-2012, CKSource - Frederico Knabben. All rights reserved.

*/

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config )
{
     // Define changes to default configuration here. For example:
     // config.language = 'fr';
     // config.uiColor = '#AADC6E';
     config.scayt_autoStartup = true;
     config.toolbar_Full =
         [
             { name: 'document',    items : [ 
'Source','-','Save','NewPage','DocProps','Preview','Print','-','Templates' 
] },
             { name: 'clipboard',   items : [ 
'Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','Undo','Redo' ] },
             { name: 'editing',     items : [ 
'Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','-', 'Scayt' ] },
             '/',
             { name: 'basicstyles', items : [ 
'Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike','Subscript','Superscript','-','RemoveFormat' 
] },
             { name: 'paragraph',   items : [ 
'NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','-','Blockquote','CreateDiv','-','JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock','-','BidiLtr','BidiRtl' 
] },
             { name: 'links',       items : [ 'Link','Unlink','Anchor' ] },
             '/',
             { name: 'styles',      items : [ 
'Styles','Format','Font','FontSize' ] },
             { name: 'colors',      items : [ 'TextColor','BGColor' ] },
             { name: 'tools',       items : [ 'ShowBlocks','-','About' ] }
         ];
config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;
config.shiftEnterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_P;
config.enableTabKeyTools = true;
config.htmlEncodeOutput = false;

config.disableNativeSpellChecker = false;
config.browserContextMenuOnCtrl = true;


config.toolbarStartupExpanded = true;
config.font_names =
     'Arial/Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;' +
     'Courier New/Courier New, Courier, monospace;' +
     'Georgia/Georgia, serif;' +
     'Lucida Sans Unicode/Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;' +
     'Tahoma/Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;' +
     'Times New Roman/Times New Roman, Times, serif;' +
     'Trebuchet MS/Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;' +
     'Verdana/Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif';

};

This turns on SCAYT by default, and removes the after-the-fact 
spellcheck button which seems to throw errors, and removes other stuff 
we don't necessarily care about (like bullets, forms, etc.).

We also set the toolbarStartupExpanded to true so it was just there for 
our Customer Service reps. Since SCAYT is running by default, they'll 
see their typos, and right-clicking will do what you expect it to, 
without the CTRL key.

True. I suppose I can capture their Real Name as a perl-enabled-scrip 
and pop it in the signature as well. Thanks! :)

I'm running 4.0.5, which was the latest release when I installed RT a 
month ago. I will have to try and come up with a maintenance window to 
install 4.0.6 now. :-)

BTW, *my* server (the screenshot with the brown background) is *my* 
server. My *work* server belongs to the company I work for. They do not 
replicate with one another. I merely showed them as a comparison as to 
what seemed weird.

Thanks, Kevin!
Best,
