Context menu - fixed or right-click?
I never use right-click context menu, it's impossible to make something big with it. Am I alone?

By floating, you mean that it appears like it used to, where you right clicked, right? If so, I always use that one.

In earlier versions the right-click menu was much faster, but I agree that it's useless in it's current state.
Why?
-In version 4.22, if I right-clicked on a hinge then the hinge options would pop up.
-In version 5.28, if I right-clicked on a hinge then the full context menu would pop up and I'd have to then click on the hinge options button which is pretty far down the list (6th on the list to be exact).
Now if I'm going to have to navigate multiple menus, then the advantage of right-clicking is gone. So, given the current configuration, I always use the fixed context menu.

I don't know why, I find right-click so much easier and more natural. I vote right-click.

Re: Context menu - fixed or right-click?
i use right click, and when i can't i use the menu button on the right of the keyboard inbetween windows and ctrl keys. I suggested it as sometimes you are in a situation where you can't right click because of an object in the way and have to piss about with the z-order of objects.
