Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/4819

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Summary of the Pull Request

Right clicking on a focused tab while Copy On Select is active currently copies any active selection. This is because PointerReleasedHandler doesn't check for the mouse button that was released.
During a mouse button release, only the left mouse button release should be doing anything.

PR Checklist

Validation Steps Performed

These are the scenarios I've tested. They're a combination of in focus/out of focus, Copy On Select on/off, left/right click pressed and their move and release variants.

From Out of Focus:

  • Left Click = Focus
  • Left Click Move = Focus + Selection
  • Left Click Release
    • CoS on = Copy
    • CoS off = Nothing
  • Shift Left Click = Focus
  • Right Click
    • Focus
    • CoS on = Paste
    • CoS off = Copy if Active Selection, Paste if not.
  • Right Click Move = Nothing
  • Right Click Release = Nothing

From In Focus

  • Left Click = Selection if CoS off
  • Left Click Move = Selection
  • Left Click Release
    • CoS on = Copy
    • CoS off = Nothing
  • Shift Left Click = Set Selection Anchor
  • Right Click
    • CoS on = Paste
    • CoS off = Copy if Active Selection, Paste if not.
  • Right Click Move = Nothing
  • Right Click Release = Nothing
