            Bug ID: 11850
           Summary: Right click and drag should be an optional feature.
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.6.7
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: core

Before this feature was added, it was possible to right click to instantly open
the context menu, and then hover over an item before releasing right click, and
have that action be executed without a left click. This is still possible, but
now the user must halt their cursor movement and wait for the menu to appear
before doing this; this breaks workflow.

The reason for this is that thunar gives you a short period in which you may
drag the folder using right click, to choose between moving, copying, and
linking the file to another folder.

I believe this should be an optional feature for two reasons; the first is the
reason I listed above, the second is that it's a potential accessibily issue;
those with motor control issues might find it hard not to trigger the dragging
action when right clicking.
