Blender UI paper cuts

Sorry if this is known issue (and maybe being discussed elsewhere) but I have just noticed that the Object Context Menu pops up even if I have nothing selected. In that case the commands of course do nothing but everything appears as if it were functional. Maybe it should not pop up at all or the menu and/or the text should be subdued.

Probably out of scope of a simple paper cut but:

  1. Maybe there could be a different menu - say Scene Context Menu or something like that with useful commands like:
  • Save scene
  • Import…
  • Grid settings
  • Clean unused stuff
  • etc.
  1. Or it could work like in say Maya where context (marking) menus work even for unselected objects - you just point the cursor at them and then hold RMB. But this is probably quite a different paradigm with its pros and cons.
