A user suggested: On the stocks page (and others) right clicking anywhere outside of (small) buttons throws you back out to the map which is very annoying. People usually use a mouse+keyboard combo so ESC is a better way to get back to the map.
Do you agree with this suggestion?

Make it an option.
Personally, the accidental right clicking closing the stock window is driving me nuts...

Re: Poll: right clicking should not exit a window
What would you suggest this option to be called concisely on the option menu?

Re: Poll: right clicking should not exit a window
Maybe "R-click/Right-click closes dialogs" -> "Enabled" or "Disabled"
Disabling it entirely would make it possible to use right-click for more advanced/easier navigation.
But that could also be a part of the option: Should right click close dialogs or allow easier navigation, so maybe simply "Right-click" -> "Navigation" or "Close dialogs"

Re: Poll: right clicking should not exit a window
1) What would "Right-click" -> "Navigation" mean?
2) Maybe "R-click/Right-click closes dialogs" -> "Enabled" or "Disabled"
Shall we say "Right-click closes windows" instead? As the information center is not a dailog. But on the other hand, currently right-clicking does not close all types of windows (e.g. the mini-map window). So "Right-click closes windows" may be a bit misleading as well. Any suggestion?

Re: Poll: right clicking should not exit a window
1(
My thought was that setting it to "Navigation" adds some new shortcuts to whatever it closes by default, instead of closing it.
It could be that you could right-click on a product in "Tech (Products)" and get an option to go either to the Manufacturer's guide for the same products if you want to check if you got all you need for producing the product that you are about to invent or improve, or be taken to "Products Details" for the same product.
Or maybe right clicking the product in Tech (Products) creates a balloon telling you the exact time until the current research is finished, instead of having to go to the R&D center to check it, making it faster to see this information for several products, without having to leave the "Tech (products)" page.
What extra bit of information or shortcut you get on a page by right clicking could in fact be anything.
2)What the best choice of word is, is hard to tell, but something like "Right-clicking closes X" was on my my mind.
And more specific information could be given on the message you get by hovering the options, the same way it does for the current options.
Maybe "Right Click" -> Default (default behaviour) or Limited (default closing behavior is disabled for some windows/dialogs/messages/prompts etc.) would be a better wording,than "Right Click" -> "Enabled/Disabled
And if the navigation option is chosen, maybe:
"Right Click" -> Default (default behaviour) or Extra navigation(default closing behaviour is disabled for some W/D/M/O, and instead adds some extra fundtionality are added)

Re: Poll: right clicking should not exit a window
David, is wording really that important?
I just want this to be implemented in the game already. I don't care if I have to go into an ini config file or have a nice description in the options. I just want to prevent those misclicks forever and play the game in peace...
Here is a suggestion for the wording: "Right mouse button closes interface windows" and next to it would be "Enabled" and "Disabled" buttons. Problem solved.
