203522 - RFE: Preference for control of context menu behavior(mouseup/mousedown)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 167271

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.10 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030314

I currently use Galeon for my browser for many reasons. One of those reasons is
proper gesture support. I have tried Mozilla+various extenstions to add desired
features, but was never happy with them. I find Phoenix/Firebird(Mozilla 1.4+)
is moving in the right direction, but a small but very troubling road block is
lack of proper gestures(STILL). I have read various bugs about how people want
it mousedown on everything, mouseup on everything, how it is mousedown on
windows and mouseup on everything else. I want to see this issue resolved once
and for all so everyone can be happy. You can make it consistently mousedown and
add an option for mouseup. I would prefer a gui checkbox for control, but could
live with a hidden option. Here is a workaround patch for Linux that should
hopefully point whoever to the right location in the code to add the preference

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click and hold under Windows
2. Right click and hold under Linux(or any OS other than Windows)


Actual Results:  
Different results and no way to control behavior

Expected Results:  
Same results, unless preference set to change behavior
