In application menus, the behavior is the same for left-clicking and
right-clicking: both open the same menu. For indicator applets, the
right click invokes the menu with the applet options, like locking,
moving and removing.

This is misleading a lot of users in the forums, who are removing the
entire indicator applet in the attempt to remove a specific indicator.
This inconsistency can also be observed in the Gnome panel menu bar,
which is also a menu.

What can be done to fix this? Fixing the right click in indicator
applets sounds tempting, but then from where the options of locking,
moving and removing would be invoked from?
