Right-click option for visual filters?

With 5.3b1 the new capabilities in the visual filter menus provide a left-click dropdown menu to invoke the various options

In the 5.2b stable release, available options were accessed via a right-click menu

From a usability perspective I think the right-click option is better. Any reason this new menu approach was adopted?

Thanks, Graham

It's not obvious to most people that a menu item can be right-clicked on to display another menu. The little icon on hover provides an "affordance" that indicates there may be something more there.

Also, most peoples' visual filter menus aren't that wide... do you have something (a Notes Document or Visual Filter) with a really long title? On a narrower menu, the left-click drop-down is easier to use.

Personally, I don't have a preference either way, but the O/C in me would like to see it done everywhere in the same way. [:O]

Guilty as charged[:)]

I could see that would be the case

Fair-enough

We've left right-click in for people who are used to it (from 5.2b or earlier).

But it doesn't seem to be there in 5.3b1[:)]

Sorry, I was confused; right-click was replaced with the new menu in 5.3.

Any chance of getting it back for those who were / are used to it??[:D]
