Right click on a resizer opens context menu and triggers resizer

[jaller94]

Your use case

What would you like to do?

When right clicking on a resizer, it shouldn't trigger both the context menu and the resizer.

Why would you like to do it?

In most cases I wanted just the context menu and was confused when the resizer started following my cursor.

How would you like to achieve it?

Alternatives:

1. Don't start the resizer's behaviour on any click but a main click. This is what I expect in a webapp.
2. Prevent the context menu from opening. This is what the XFCE window manager does for native window borders.

The button that was clicked can be tested with event.button.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Maybe the React Re-Resizer does this properly already?. Looks like we want(ed) to migrate to this. #15083

Additional context

Left sidebar is affected too

Right sidebar is affected too

I don't think I can repro to this extent but the resizer probably shouldn't react to right-click

@SimonBrandner @jaller94 i couldn't reproduce this issue, don't you think it should be closed?

The resizer still reacts to right-click for me on Chrome (100.0.4896.60), so no, I wouldn't consider it completely fixed

Do we want the resizer to trigger only on the left mouse click?

Looks like the fix matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#10546 got merged but the issue didn't get closed.

Just as a surprising side note (this is not the behaviour I expected): On XFCE/Linux, you can resize windows with both the primary and secondary mouse button. Only the tertiary (middle) muse button doesn't trigger the resizing.
