ok, i have discovered the problem is caused by having my mouse gesture program running [
https://tcbmi.com/strokeit/ ]. but the weird thing is, i already had strokeit running with xyplorer for years before, and this didn't used to be a problem. and strokeit hasn't been updated for years, nor has my mouse gestures for xyplorer. so the only thing that has changed is xyplorer. at one of the xyplorer versions in the past year or so, it started having this problem with strokeit. can you improve this compatibility problem with strokeit in a future version of xyplorer?
NOTE: with strokeit running, other right click functions still work fine in xyplorer. so it is just this problem with mouse down blow up.
