Summary 💡

I just tried trigger MUI Tooltip by long press, and found it annoying that the context menu would appear as well 🙁

Examples 🌈

Motivation 🔦

I propose we can add a new prop: disableContextMenu, and default to disableTouchListener === false.

With disableContextMenu === true, pass onContextMenu: e => e.preventDefault() in props for cloning children

Research direction

Start in packages/mui-material/src/Tooltip/Tooltip.js, at the props for cloning children linked in the issue, and trace how touch-triggered tooltips handle context menus. Confirm the desired default for disableContextMenu and verify that long-pressing a Tooltip no longer opens the context menu when the option is enabled.
