Hi,

I thought the basic function of a right-click menu was a context menu. By  
definition it should change to suit the context. Maybe the point about  
confusion is if it changes in what is basically the same context, like  
your example, where you are basically doing the same task but with a  
different window size.

I suppose it could be conceivable to add some extra menu entries below  
what is already there but existing entires must be constant.

I can think of several programs (XFE for one) that moves things around and  
it is very disrupting , I'm never sure where the paste entries is , for  
example.

regards,
