unexpected file list at the previewer pane

[threelegcat2015]

It doesn't quite make sense to list the file system when clicking the "reload" option at the previewer context menu (at the lower-left of the screenshot), which seems to be a bug for 4.0.7.

Confirmed, but is it really a context menu?
I have to do a right double-click to open the context menu.
A simple right-click doesn't do anything.

that's not a context menu created by xiphos.
i'm thinking it must be some default thing created by webkit. and i agree w/dom, i get it only by double-clicking. i didn't even know it was there.
we can only wonder how long that's been happening. as long as we've been using webkit? only since webkit2? as far back as xulrunner?

I have discovered just later that it was a double-right-click that triggers the context menu:

given the plain peculiarity of this, and the fact that it lurked unnoticed for quite possibly a decade, i'm just going to close this as not terribly interesting to pursue. it's simply not to be expected that anyone will be using double-right-click for anything.
if i should by dumb luck discover how such a binding is constructed, i'll be happy to update the code, but i just don't see the point right now.
