Bug Description
Slower Right mouse clicks don't show the context menu on desktops and several tested apps.
(Technically the context menu is shown and disappears again when letting go of the right mouse button).
Steps to reproduce:
* boot fresh (fresh installed) ubuntu 22.04
* login
* do a slow right mouse click on destkop wallpaper e.g. hold right mouse key for 2 seconds (the actually needed amount of time can be much shorter, 2 seconds is just for reproduction purposes)
Results:
Menu appears on right mouse press
Menu disappears when letting go of the right mouse button (even if the button is clicked relatively faster than holding it down for 2 seconds)
Expected result:
Menu appears when clicking right mouse buttun
Menu stays visible when letting go of right mouse button.
Menu only disappears when clicking somewhere else of holding down the right mouse button extremely long.
Problem:
currently the context menu is a hit or no hit to get shown, giving the user the annoyance to have to click serveral times to show the context menu. This gets tedious real fast. It got this complaints from regular users, but actually noticed this myself on regularly as well, while I'm a fairly fast mouse user. In fact I find it hindering my daily workflow as well.

- Right mouse click does not show context menu + Holding right mouse click does not show context menu |
Technically, when using a mouse nothing should happen until the button is released. Like with GUI buttons.
