Re: Patch for bug 85976

[Bruce Robert Pocock <brpocock 10east com>]

I've seen problems with (esp. loaded/slow machines) users right-clicking
the first item because menu was slow to appear. (right-click, menu
starts to appear but no user-visible change, another right-click
attempting to open menu, but instead selecting first item)

My preference would be to fix it universally so no item is selected by
default... but consistency is perhaps more important short-term.
