hi, there!

I've experimented right-clicking a couple "CtrlArray-like" Windows ctrls and, indeed, context menu pops up after releasing RMB, but I honestly see no use in having it done this way, since you have to release RMB anyway, if you you now decide to change selection, otherwise either you just drag selected object (when allowed), or you do nothing, but to cause Context menu to pop up at some other view area point and that's all. Curiously enough, I've been using Windows for some time now without ever noticing or bothering about this aspect, but now that you raised this point, I see that the way Upp does it is actually the best and more appropriate approach and I think the Windows way is rather wrong: one should be able to visualize and consult menu content immediately right after RMB click!

Thank you!
