I'm also concerned with the "Delete/Drop" right underneath "Disconnect
database" in the context menu. The confirmation popup has saved me many
times over the years.
If it were an option I would disable it. Just my 2 cents...

While it is quite true that mis-clicks are a possibility (I'm sure we
have all seen the situation where an overloaded system can't quite keep
up with screen coordinates and what we think we are clicking is not what
gets activated) I agree with Dave that the backend protection comes
first. It might make sense to activate/deactivate buttons in a client
based on detected backend permissions, but this leaves the client user
to use whatever role has the permissions required to achieve the
intended tasks.
Ideally, it might be indeed nice to have a global UI preference setting
for that, named like "Protection against ocasional destructive
mis-clicks" with some levels like "Ask for confirmation before taking
destructive action" and "Disable potentially destructive buttons and
menu items". With a reasonable default chosen, that probably wouldn't
hurt anybody, and might eventually save some :)
Thank you,
Nikolai
