            Bug ID: 13397
           Summary: Long right clicks onto a file execute an action other
                    than just open context menu for that file
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Libxfce4ui
           Version: 4.12.1
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: nick at xfce.org
          Reporter: godevilove at ya.ru

  Target Milestone: 4.14

I might have summarized the bug poorly, as the issue is complex and multiple
solutions would suit me.

Problem:
1. Do: in Thunar hover any file and right click on it and hold the mouse down.
What happens: this opens a context menu for the file and either topmost or
lowest menuitem is shown as active (hovered, selected).
2. Do: release the right click.
What happens: this counts as a click onto the selected menuitem and that
menuitem gets executed.

So the system expects me to right click (and hold) onto a file, move the cursor
to the necessary menuitem and release the button.

While I would prefer if there would be a way to configure the system (sorry, I
don't know which parts of it exactly) so that it would behave so:
either
1. RMB {click DOWN} would NOT invoke a context menu, only RMB {click UP} would
open a context menu.
or
2. Only LMB clicks could execute menuitems in context menus and RMB clicks onto
menuitems would either get ignored or would close or close and reopen the
context menu.
