Not able to right click on JMeter elements

Question

Recently I downloaded a plugin - https://jmeter-plugins.org/?search=jpgc-ggl and since then I am not able to right click on any of the elements in the Jmeter GUI (v 5.2.1). I tried the suggestion as below given in the link here but it did not solve the issue.

Removed jmeter-plugins-cmn-jmeter-0.4.jar from lib folder
Removed jmeter-plugins-graphs-ggl-2.0.jar from ext folder
Removed jmeter-plugins-manager-0.20.jar from ext folder

Please can someone help?

P.S: Plugins Manager gives me proxy Error on clicking because I am using my corporate proxy network. I download the jars and manually place them in the ext folder to use a plugin.

I cannot reproduce your issue using JMeter 5.2.1 and Graphs Generator Listener 2.0, here is listing of my JMeter's "lib" folder:

The listing was generated using tree /F apache-jmeter-5.2.1\lib command, inspect your own folder and make sure it's in sync with what's displayed above.

Normally the reason of any JMeter failure or at least a clue can be found in jmeter.log file so take a look there - most probably you will see what's causing the error.

With regards to the Plugins Manager - you should be able to use it behind the proxy, it respects JMeter Proxy configuration, check out Plugins Manager Network Configuration chapter for more troubleshooting steps
