I don't think we need this. Dialog opening on right click is already very
uncommon (it should be context menus)
When you are new to a program and don't know what a certain structure is for or need more infos, you
right-click on it to see the context menu - indeed. But as we don't have a context menu, nothing
happens and the user is lost.
I didn't understand why the math-panel dialog was dropped. The new sidebar is a nicht thing, but the
dialog should stay to be opened on right-click.
Personally I only use the sidebar very rarely but I use it from time to time. I don't want to have
the sidebar to be shown every time when I'm in a formula, so I deactivate it in the View menu. But
when I now need to use it anyway, right-click on a formula to open a dialog is much easier than to
reactivate the sidebar just for this single usage.
So if the math-panel dialog would stay as it was, independently from the sidebar, everything would
be fine.
