You rarely decide to change panel configuration once you have it set. Using this option you make sure there won't be unintentional pop up of a configuration window or even unintentional change in panel layout. Moreover, this is the default behavior for other desktop environments.\r\n\r\nBTW, this bug report is not from a security point of view like what we have at #2719. So this is not a duplicate of that bug."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/comments/149283718","html_url":"https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4720#issuecomment-149283718","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4720","id":149283718,"user":{"login":"dalcde","id":1336336,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1336336?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde","html_url":"https://github.com/dalcde","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dalcde/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-19T17:07:52Z","updated_at":"2015-10-19T17:07:52Z","body":"> @dalcde\r\n> There are only two candidates for changing panel appearance: First, through settings > panel and second, by right clicking the panel. I don't understand how one might get confused when there is only 2 choices.\r\n\r\nNo. To most people there is only one choice - right click. Right clicking to access configuration options is almost a universal standard, and I'd say most people would expect a popup menu with configuration options to appear when you right click\r\n\r\n> About right clicking special applets the desired action is obvious in my opinion: just show the applet's specific items without \"about\", \"configure\", and \"Remove this applet\".\r\n\r\nNot exactly trivial since applets are allowed to tinker with the menus as they wish.\r\n\r\n> By feeling solid I meant the panel should seem not changing as if configuring is not allowed like many desktops. This way we benefit capability of configuration beside the stability of panel layout. Furthermore, availability of configuration options in everyday use is superfluous. Just take another look to them: \"Add applets ...\", \"Panel settings\", \"Themes\", \"All settings\", \"Troubleshoot\"!!, \"Modify panel\", \"Panel edit mode\". It's obvious to me that they are not for everyday use.\r\n\r\nErrr... do you randomly right click your panel when you are bored? The only reason why one would want to right click the panel is to access configuration options. The right click button isn't *that* easy to accidentally press."}}
