Details

On a Windows platform, where the default menu method is click (a.k.a. select on Solaris), release, click, release, it is usually also possible to click, hold, move, release. Compare: 1. click file, release, move down the menu, click new navigator window, release 2. click file and hold, move down the menu, release over new navigator window When I right-click (a.k.a. menu on Solaris) and hold on the tab, no menu appears until I release the mouse button. It would be very useful if this functioned in the same way as left-clicking on one of the menu bar items (such as file, edit, ...). (This may be controlled by the operating system or window manager, and may not be possible, I don't know.) This also begs the question of whether tabs should have a left-click menu (perhaps click and drag to reorder, or perhaps display the same menu as right-click, or obviously do nothing).
This behaviour applies to all popup menus on the windows builds, not only tabs. dup of 89308 "Open context menus on mousedown in Windows" *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 89308 ***
