I can confirm this behavior, but it appears to be specific to Linux systems and I think it might not be valid. Let's leave this opinion to a more documented developer. Thank you for your contribution!

I'm not sure what component this should be in, but not DOM: Navigation. Mike, do you have any ideas? Maybe some front end component for context menus? Thanks.

I wonder if we should measure the distance between the starting point of the mouse cursor, and the point at which the pointerup event fires. Then we could have some kind of threshold where if the mouse is within a certain distance of its starting point, then we consider the pointerup as part of the action of opening the context menu.
