Request: Drop Right Click Release. #104

Open artivision opened 1 year ago

artivision commented 1 year ago

From around 2020, Right Click -> Move Mouse upon a menu item -> then release, simulates a Left Click action enabling the menu item. Is this Kill-able in your version of GTK?

Never knew that was a thing. Same behaviour here under these patches. Might be related to #34 when holding middle click broke.

If you find the commit responsible, you're welcome to patch it out. What makes you want to disable this "feature"? I'm not sure I'd want to carry such patch as it seems harmless.

I suppose it might be possible that is an accessibility thing, but it also allows a certain tolerance for fast/sloppy mouse movement and selection of the menu entries. One click could start the menu, and if you happen to release the button when you're already sliding down the menu towards your intended entry, you could accidentally select that earlier entry and not the one you intended to make a full click on.
