0. Create a new project, open timeline docker 1. right click on the layer's label in timeline docker 2. Now depending on how fast you let go of the mouse, it occasionally creates a new layer by accident. You either have to hold right click for very long or let go extremely fast which is annoying (as it is not the case with any other right-click operation)
That's not something we actually control, I'm afraid. We don't implement the way menus work ourselves, it's part of the toolkit.
Reopening with an observation and a suggestion: I don't think this is caused by 'timimg' but is caused by slight movement of the mouse/pen during the right-click. When that context menus opens, the New Layer entry is at the top of the list box and a very small movement of the cursor will highlight it so that if you release the right-click while it is highlighted, the action is triggered, i.e. a new layer will be created. A similar situation occurred in other context menus and that was fixed by putting a non-active label item at the top of the list of actions. These can be seen as e.g. 'Selection Actions' and 'Vector Shape Actions' when working on the main canvas. Is it possible to do the same for the Timeline docker context menu?

Added simple headers to timeline context menus. This was suggested as a way to mitigate accidental menu selections on click release/negative edge.
