Description

[EDIT]: Note that the proposed resolution is completely different. I am not changing my suggestion to match that; otherwise the subsequent posts in this thread will not make any sense.

In the Song Editor tracks, the gear icon is the only place where the context menu is triggered with LMB, rather with RMB. In fact, the RMB has no response at all.

On the same track, all the other elements have context menus triggered with RMB.
(Mute+Solo LEDs, VOL, PAN, and elements on timeline)

Desired: Even the gear icon should have context menu, for the sake of consistency.

Research direction

Locate the Song Editor track gear icon handling and compare it with the right-click handlers for the Mute, Solo, VOL, PAN, and timeline elements. Confirm the intended behavior against the issue discussion, then verify that right-clicking the gear opens the context menu consistently with the other track controls.
