Description
This is probably an upstream issue, but both in projects and files tabs' file trees, the behavior is different when clicking with RMB or LMB.
When clicking with LMB: clicking anywhere in the blue area will be treated as a click on the element. This should (at least in my opinion) be the behavior for both LMB and RMB clicks.
When clicking with RMB: clicking in the orange outlined area (basically over the text of the element) will be treated as a RMB click on the item, while clicking anywhere else in the blue area will be treated as RMB click on no element
Might be just a me issue, but somehow I manage to rather often miss the text element itself, as most other programs allow the whole line in a tree view to be used as a hitbox, so I'd like to open the discussion if this is intended behavior or could we maybe do something about this.

Research direction
Reproduce the hitbox difference in the projects and files tabs' file trees using both left- and right-click. Locate the file-tree entry points and compare how each mouse button resolves the selected item; done means the full row is treated consistently for both clicks in both tabs.
