Default Control Key Brings Up Pencil Tool

I'm a newb to PT (3 months now) and have recently encountered a problem with my "Control Key" and right click functions.

Up until now all was well and I was able to access the "right option menu functions(separate, copy, etc)" by either right clicking(which is set to "Secondary Click") or control key-clicking in the track regions
But, recently whenever I hit my "control key" or right click I get either the Pencil Tool on MIDI tracks or a Scrub tool on Audio tracks.

I believe that I may have inadvertently toggled into some kind of funky keyboard edit mode or something.
Does anyone have a possible tip or suggestion as to what maybe I'm doing wrong.
It would be greatly appreciated.....not being able to access the secondary option menus with my right click is bugging me.

Once again, I'm a newb to PT(although not new to DAWs or recording).

Me gear/computer/RAM/CPU details should be in my profile signature below.


Thanks In Advance,
Eric

P.S. Just realized I forgot to put my OS in my sig. Latest OSX Leopard.

Nothing is wrong, it's the smart tool.

Thanks Felix, your quick response is appreciated.

Although I had initially turned off the Smart Tool during my initial troubleshooting and before my 1st post, after reading your response I decided to try and deactivate the Smart Tool again to see if just maybe I missed something last night.
Unfortunately, I'm still unable to access the "right click menus" in any individual tool mode by either right clicking or control-click.

Just a run down on how "right click" and "control-click" is perfoming under each tool:
Zoom-neither right click nor CTL do anything(except CTL+Click, which moves the regions around)
Trimmer-same as Zoom
Selector-RC and CTL bring up Scrub Tool
Scrub-same Zoom and Trimmer
Pencil-same as Zoom and the others

Under the"Smart Tool" R/C and CTL bring up Pencil(MIDI Track) or Scrubber Tool(Audio Track). as I stated in the initial post.

Maybe, I'm getting it wrong and everything is working as it should. But, I know I'm not crazy and that I've had no problem using the "right click menus" these last 3 months until yesterday when I went to expand playlists on a track and only was able to get the Scrubber Tool or Pencil Tool.

I've hit the Reference Guide and searched several of my trusty message boards, which normally does the trick(DUC being the best, of course). However this one little silly thing has got me SNAFU'd!!!
I love my right click menu....what can I say!!!

Could somebody tell me if I'm either doing something wrong or misunderstanding how the right click menus are accessed.

Thanks again,
Eric

P.S. See specs in earlier post.
