In fact, there is some inconsistency about this choice between different applications, and usage scenarios in those applications. For example: in Telegram, right-clicking and even choosing an action on the context menu of one message does not clear a selection in another message. In CLion/IntelliJ IDEA, if you have one file selected in the file list but right-click another - the right-clicked file is selected. In Inkscape, if you select one shape and right-click another - the right-clicked shape gets selected. My question to you would be: Within selecting the right-clicked shape, how would the user know _which_ shape it is that they selected? That's not as trivial a question as you might imagine, because you may have, for example, two squares which intersect; if you show the selection rectangle, you know you have one rather than the other; but otherwise - you might be guessing. And since your action is relevant to the right-clicked object, it's a problem if you don't know which one it is. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
