Pressing right mouse button counts as a click

I have a problem with my mouse (and laptop's trackpoint as well, it's not hardware related). Sometimes mouse-down and mouse-up count as a separate clicks. For example, I click right on a bluetooth applet, menu shows up, with an "exit" button under my cursor. Releasing the button is "clicking" the exit and closing the applet.

evtest events of a single mouse-down + mouse-up:

Event: time 1618565470.847806, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1618565471.257810, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90002
Event: time 1618565471.257810, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 273 (BTN_RIGHT), value 1
Event: time 1618565471.257810, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1618565472.829839, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90002
Event: time 1618565472.829839, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 273 (BTN_RIGHT), value 0

This looks like some strange configuration option in XFCE, but I can't find anything related. Maybe someone has an idea?

Re: Pressing right mouse button counts as a click

That sounds normal to me - I get the same behavior in programs I have with context menus.  If you hold the button down, then the button-up triggers the selected menu item.  The problem may either be that a menu item shouldn't be automatically selected when the menu opens, or perhaps there is a setting for click duration during which a button-up is ignored and this duration needs to be longer for your use (though I doubt this).
