It leads to unintentional clicks, and it's especially noticeable when CPU/RAM
are at high utilization and it takes a while to draw a menu, as sometimes it
results in right-clicking, not seeing anything, and the software processing a
click on some random menu item that you never had the chance to read. Also
makes it harder to cancel a right click with a left click.

BTW click-on-release is also the way it works in other desktop environments and
how it used to be in older KDE versions.
