I have the "show applications menu on desktop right click" option
enabled in Settings -> Desktop -> Menus -> Desktop Menu. For years, I
have been comfortably right-clicking the desktop, dragging my mouse
cursor to the appropriate application, and releasing the mouse to launch
the application. Quick and easy.
Recently, a "right click edits launchers" feature was added to
xfdesktop, and it breaks my tried-and-true right-click menu. Now,
instead of launching my application, an "Edit Launcher" window appears.
This is obviously not what I want.
I can sort-of work around the problem by right-clicking the desktop,
releasing the button, then moving the mouse to my desired application,
and then clicking and releasing again, but the extra motions and extra
attention I have to spend on that approach makes it really awkward. It's
also special-case behavior that deviates from the way GUI menus work
pretty much everywhere else in the world. I want click-drag-release to
work again, please.
This looks like the commit that introduced the breakage:
http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=12b9528fd10769fff10346a503922fa280d0c293
Since the new feature can also be activated with a shift-click, I
suggest simply removing its right-click activation to fix this problem.
I'll attach a patch that does this.
