Comment (by axeld):
Replying to [comment:9 jscipione]:
> To me it is just "wrong" to open a contextual menu on left click.
If anything, it's much closer to a popup menu than a "contextual menu",
and I guess there is no arguing that the expected result of a left click
on a popup menu brings up that menu.
> Perhaps the contextual menu should only appear on a left click if there
is more than one window open for the app. Right click always brings up the
menu. That sounds like a fair comprimise to me.
Sounds fair, but is not a good solution either, as the action triggered by
the left click is then not foreseeable at all. Things like that should be
avoided if possible.
I think a possible alternative to the current double click behaviour is to
make the middle click behave the same or something like this. I wouldn't
like to see the current left click behaviour changed for the reasons
mentioned above.
