Oh yes, never noticed.
That's a very good thing!

That's also another good solution.


Or perhapse make a minimum delay for the "press, drag and release"
behavior. ie. "click, drag for longer than 0.3 seconds and release".

So, for casual user it would be OK (no menu item that surprisingly don't
work sometimes).
I think most users (right-)click to show the menu, release the mouse and
the re-click the menu item they want.
At least I tryed the "press, drag and release" method and never succeded
to be used to that.

But that would challenge "press, drag and release" users, as I think
this method is quicker, so sometimes faster than 0.3 s, isn't it?
Hum... Perhapse not. 0.3 sec is quick short to move the mouse.
