[QUOTE="MisterTLS, post: 1123667, member: 142045"] @dtravis7, @jackrich: There's nothing about this issue that is pecular to the dock. Any button with both a left-click behavior and a separate context menu will do it, and that includes such buttons that appear in programs. An example is the "Get Msgs" button in Thunderbird or SeaMonkey. @Gandalph: 80+ year olds who've been doing "slow clicks" for over 10 years do not suddenly relearn how to use the mouse, not ever after MONTHS of trying to do so. I've learned that this behavior ("slow click" bringing up context menu) may also be known as "click and hold". It is possible to raise the time threshold of when a click becomes a "hold"? Surely this must also be an issue for people with certain physical "challenges" that lead to slow motor skills. Is there no usability tool that helps them? [/QUOTE]
