Public bug reported:

On the Pointing and Clicking page of the Universal Access settings panel
there is a toggle for a "Simulated Secondary Click". By conventional
American English, a "secondary" click would perhaps be the second click
of a double-click, but really it just doesn't make any sense. What is
meant is a click of the second button on a pointing device, or what is
most commonly known as a "right-click". If the word "secondary" must be
kept, it would be better to say "secondary button click".

The effect described in the text does not match what happens. It says,
"Trigger a secondary click by holding down the primary button". When
this is enabled, the effect is that the right-click happens when the
button is released, not when it is held down. The text should perhaps
read "Trigger a right-click by holding down then after a delay releasing
the primary button."

Perhaps the text is correct and the behavior is not?
