Description:
I will upload an image.  Windows users would expect context menus in lots of places where there are not.  This is inconsistent with the OS standards. And besides it is faster and more convenient to right-click once than to left-click twice.

How to repeat:
see image

Suggested fix:
add context menus.

theres a wrong behavior implemented for the list-items. They get underlined on hover - suggesting activation on single-click (thats sth. we're about to change). But in general, double-clicking a list-item to initiate some action is quite common on windows.

there are plans to add a popupmenu for these lists, but that wont make it into 5.2 anymore

An entry has been added to the 5.2.32 changelog: 

        There were numerous locations within &workbench; where 
        the availability of context-sensitive menus (right-clicking) was expected and 
        useful, but not available.
