Ticket #6296, comment 9
initial v1 1 1 2 {{{ 3 Well, the thing certainly doesn't look like a menu, but surely anyone clicking 4 on it gets the drift real quick. 5 }}} 2 > Well, the thing certainly doesn't look like a menu, but surely anyone clicking on it gets the drift real quick. 6 3 7 4 The deskbar is not a menu it is just implemented using a BMenu. But to the user it is its own thing and not a menu bar like in other apps. Therefore the deskbar's behavior is open to interpretation. My opinion and the original parents opinion is that the left click should bring the application windows forward. Others think it should open a contextual menu allowing the user to select the window they want. I cannot see how this debate can be solved since both are equally valid behaviors. To me it is just "wrong" to open a contextual menu on left click. I have tried to get used to the behavior but I just can't seem to. It is especially baffling to me for single window applications such as Deskcalc where there is really only choice, show the window or hide it. So at least for those apps the contextual menu should go away. Perhaps the contextual menu should only appear on a left click if there is more than one window open for the app. Right click always brings up the menu. That sounds like a fair comprimise to me.
