Suppress shift-rightclick to open the LabVIEW Tools Pallette in the Icon Editor

[JayKayAce]

Describe the bug
When the icon editor is running and a developer shift right-clicks the standard behavior is to open the tools pallette. This should be suppressed inside the icon editor, as the tools pallette has no power there.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the Icon editor
2. Hold Shift and RIghtclick on the drawing area.
3. The tools pallette is shown
4. See attached image.

Expected behavior
Shift + Rightclick is ignored on the running Icon editor.

@gregr-ni do you see any problems if we implement this?

[svelderrainruiz]

@gregr-ni can you please give us some pointers on how to implement this? or caveats that would be useful to know when implementing this?

[gregr-ni]

I'm a bit confused how it is happening. I guess that is a non-running panel being shown?

The Mouse filter event may be able to avoid it. The code below attempts to allow shift for left click but clear shift on any right clicks.

LabVIEW IDE handles this before it even gets to the filter event case. This is even on a running VI.

Shucks. After looking a bit more, this isn't just an icon editor issue. All VI based dialogs in the editor have this behavior, including the getting started window and compare hierarchies. We may be able to find some workaround but it appears this needs a general fix in LV itself.

thank you @gregr-ni , i will turn this issue into a discussion.
