Description Asif Ali Rizvan 2012-01-28 19:05:28 UTC
This Right-Click unexpected behavior in Gnome is causing much nuisance, where It is doing things which I did not intend with the right-click to do; I thing the right-click is not GNome Human Interface Guidelines compliant.

Please see the video demonstation of the bug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNflQDQcWg

for example:

pressing right-click 2 times, will select and execute the first item in the menu. which is totally unacceptable and unintended.

or 

pressing right-click and not releasing the button then releasing (delayed release of the mouse right button by the user) executes the 'menu item' on which the mouse pointer is hovering.

because of this I have many 'new folders' in nautilus, 'undone' many typed words  in gedit, and 'went BACK' to previous pages in epiphany. All these 'unintentionally' and because of 'strange behavior of right-click in gnome'

How to reproduce:

Gedit: (undo text happening)
1. type some text
2. press right-click on mouse 3-4 times, 
3. we can see that text is being 'deleted' or 'undone' i.e., undo operation is being done even when the user is not intending that to happen.

Nautilus: (creating new folders or showing properties)

1. open nautilus
2. press right-click 3-4 times, on the upper/top area
3. new folders are created which is an unexpected behavior
4. and if we press right-click at the bottom area, the 'properties' item gets executed.


Epiphany: (going back to previous page on right-clicking 2 times)
1. open epiphany
2. open some website, say www.gnome.org
3. go into some hyperlinks
4. press right-click on mouse 2-3 times,
5. we and thrown back to the previous page.

Expected Behavior:

1. In Firefox, the Right-Click does not select the 1st item in the context/right-click menu; hence preventing all unintended behaviors

2. Please do not select the '1st or last' or any item on right-click menu, on right-clicking.

thanks.
