Hello.
I have no idea where to ask this question... The desktop menu behaviour has changed recently (by my measures, not sure when exactly) and it drives me crazy. I'm used to launch an application by pressing the right mouse button on the desktop then navigating to the desired launcher and releasing the button, no left mouse click. This used to start the application, but now it brings me the launcher editor.
Is there some configuration option that would bring the old behaviour back? It's even inconsistent with the rest of the applications where the "right mouse drag" in context menu produces equivalent of "right click, move, left click".
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks and regards,

I didn't do enough Googling apparently, it's been filed and fixed upstream already: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11031
The solution is also mentioned in the referenced bug: xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /desktop-icons/right-click-edits-menu -n -t bool -s false
