--- Comment #4 from Howard Johnson <[email protected]> ---
Simple solution: Open the shortcut menu a little further right and down from
where the mouse right down event occurs.
The right click has three associated events that occur in this order:
a) right button down,
b) any mouse motion, and
c) right button released.
These cause the following things to occur:
* Step a: Opens any shortcut menu dialog.
* Step b1: Possibly moves the pointer over (onto) the shortcut menu,
* Step b2: Or not.
* Step c: If the mouse pointer ends up on top of the shortcut menu, select a
shortcut menu item.
Steps b1 and c create the bug.
We have to accept the possibility that motion onto the shortcut menu in step b
can occur.
Unless a drag is involved, I think the user expects a click to do just one
thing at a time. But in this case it is sometimes (with a tiny amount of mouse
motion) doing two things: opening and selecting.
Three possible solutions:
A) Fire shortcut selection with right (or left) down events (rather than up
events).
B) After opening a shortcut menu, make sure a right release does not
unintentionally select an item.
C) Open the shortcut a little more to the right and down from where the right
mouse is pressed down (just a few pixels will probably do).
Discussion of alternatives:
Solution A is radical, and takes away the possibility of right press, move to
menu, and right release behavior.
Solution C is really just one way of implementing solution B. I think it is
probably the safest and easiest way to fix this issue.
Furthermore I noticed that in both FireFox and Chrome this is how they work.
They have the exact same issue, like right here when I am editing this text,
and I press and hold the right mouse button down. I then get a shortcut menu.
And if I continue to hold the right button down, and move the mouse right, and
then down a bit, the pointer moves into this shortcut menu and lights up the
first menu selection. If I then release the right button the event is fired
and the menu selection is performed.
Therefore I favor solution C.
