Package: xterm
Version: 210-3

IMO, right-clicking in xterm should bring up the font size menu
(currently only accessible by Control+rightclick). The font menu would
be more useful than the current feature that is bound to the right
mouse button (extend selection).

Plus, most people currently don't know how to access the font menu.
Once this change is made, everybody will know how.

You could really make a case for any of the menus being brought up, I don't
see why you chose the font menu. As it is, I don't see a need to break an
expected behavior on this app. Yeah, it'd be better for some use cases to
have it bound to the font menu, but it's better for other use cases to keep
it as is. Given that there's no compelling reason to do this, I'm going to
close this bug. Thank you for your idea though, it's appreciated.
