Hello,
Has anyone else found right-clicking in the file-list in Windows 8 File Explorer confusing? Despite the file under the cursor clearly highlighted, the right-click context menu is for the containing folder - but a left-click at the same spot will select the highlighted file. It works as expected if you right-click on the text, but not if you right-click in the highlighted row.
I've written up a description and set of screenshots here to show the problem:

I can't remember if this was how it worked in 8.0, but I think they've got this wrong.
Unless I have some flag set somewhere or something....? Don't think so.
