Description Sam Davis CLA 2011-02-25 17:04:36 EST 
Right clicking on the activate button in the task list both activates the task and brings up a context menu. When I right click a task, I want the menu, I don't want it activated. Middle click on this button should probably also be ignored.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-02-25 17:59:15 EST 
I'll take a look. I would like to middle click to activate and open the editor.

That would be great. Maybe Ctrl+click should do that too. I thought there was a shortcut for this already but I can't find it.
Comment 3 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-02-25 20:22:26 EST 
Shift clicking in the activation history works. We should probably make this consistent when activating from the task list.
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-02-27 15:21:58 EST 
To summarize, here is what I suggest: Shift+Left-click and Middle-click activate the task and bring the task editor to the front. Right-click show the context menu and does not activate the task.

Makes sense to me.

patch V1

Steffen,

here is a fix for the context menu.

Because I have only a trackpad I can not test if this work with a three button mouse.

Can you please test that now only the context menu is opened  when you right click over the activate icon.
