Modern WebView allows right click sharing

Hi,

When using the modern WebView the student can right click on content and select share. Using this functionality I was able to easily send messages using iMessage.

Right click is by default disabled, see Preferences / Security / Hooked Keys / Enable Right Mouse (also macOS): In SEB for macOS this enables right mouse button/context menu on special website elements, Javascript, browser plugins and video players etc. (not on regular website elements) and when using Web Inspector (see Browser pane).

Ask your exam provider to disable this setting, that is currently the only way how to prevent these context menu items to be accessible.

But as the right click setting is shared with SEB for Windows, they might have a reason why they changed this setting from its default value (not enabled). I guess we should provide a separate setting for the macOS version.
