Tree: right-click in tree does not select on FF

[Adam Peller]

(can reproduce with 1.6.0 through 1.8.0b1)

​http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.6.0/dojo-release-1.6.0/dijit/tests/tree/test_Tree.html

on the "rootless" tree (second tree in the test) right-click or option-click on a node. The context menu appears, but in FF there is still no selection on the Tree. In Chrome, the selection is set and the context menu appears.

The issues are:

• Consistency (FF and Chrome should match each other, but not sure which behavior is right)
• The menu code needs some way to know which TreeNode was right clicked. Need to investigate whether that's via selection or some other way.

The Tree is designed to only select on left-click. See the code in _dndSelector.js:

onMouseDown: function(e){
...
        // ignore right-click
        if(e.type != "touchstart" && !mouse.isLeft(e)){ return; }

I tried right-click on both Chrome/Mac and Chrome/Windows, and it doesn't select the node.

Presumably what you were doing was a ctrl-click on a mac, which strangely gets reported in Chrome as a left-click with the ctrl-key, rather than a faux right-click event. It seems like that's a bug in webkit, don't you think? (Note that Safari behaves the same way.) If so, I guess you should file a ticket with webkit.

If not, then it's probably something that dojo/mouse::isLeft() should be accounting for. Alternately you could argue that every client of dojo/mouse::isLeft() should also be checking for the control key.

In any case, I'm going to close this ticket. If you want you should open a ticket either against dojo/mouse (in this bug database) or against Chrome itself.

PS: We can't just treat any ctrl-left-click as a right-click, because ctrl-left-click already has another meaning: add this node to the set of selected nodes.
