Details

If I double click on a word in a browser window, unless I am very quick on 
the draw and move the mouse away from the initial click location, a "click 
and hold" popup menu will appear. This is very annoying, when I am 
trying to select more than 1 word for copying to the clipboard.

There may be accessibility issues for users who are unable to move their 
mouse quickly enough. In my opinion we should cancel "click and hold" 
popup menus if the event in progress has any kind of selection behavior, 
e.g. double-clicking, shift-clicking, any mouse events other than single 
clicking.
