Right-clicking a file should not open, should only show context menu

[internationils]

Right-clicking a file in the explorer view should not open, should only show context menu. Sometimes I just want to rename a file or something else from the context menu. The left button does the opening, right should only be context.

Agree. Handling selections is really tricky unfortunately with changes potentially having lots of side effects because there are so many combinations of operations related to clicks.

If I recall the decision was made explicitly originally because it severely complicated things by not moving the selection.

Taking a look around various applications most - but not all - do what you suggest, ie. they don't navigate.

Ok I was able to make this work.

I also added the filename to the top of the context menu so there's no confusion what you're working with.

Fix in 3.2.17.1

Mostly fixed... if you right click and get the context menu, and then accidentally right click on the file while the context window is open (it was an honest misclick, I promise!! : ) then it still shows up in the preview. What are you using to do the screen recording in the other bug? It might help you see something I'm not explaining on a bug or two that I file.

Hmmm... damn this is complex. The issue is that in order to handle all these special click scenarios MM does low level mouse and key handling and there 3 different mouse click events that interact.

Played around with this with rapid clicks and 'misclicks' and sure enough I was able to occasionally right click and open a document. Still couldn't quite make out what the issue was.

But after a bit of sleuthing I finally figured out that the MouseUp event was still firing and depending on how quickly the button was released. So it was working most of the time but not always.

IAC I think I have the fix for this now:

// in MouseUp
if (e.ChangedButton == MouseButton.Right || e.RightButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
{
    isDoubleClick = false;
    return;
}

Incidentally the 'misclicks' would also result in crashes on many occasions, so this should fix that as well. I think this fixes potentially a number of related issues where double clicks and/or right clicks are involved which should improve behavior of the folder view in general.

Nice! Let me know when there is a new version again... no hurry on this one. Could you have a look at #1091 ? as I'm structuring chapters and sections I do a lot of moving and that one is annoying...

Seems fixed, I can now spam-right-click and only get the context window and nothing opens, thanks!
