Fix right-click context menus firing their first item on Linux

Bound to <Button-3> with finally: menu.grab_release(), the menu lost its grab
immediately and the trailing <ButtonRelease-3> activated the entry under the
cursor — right-clicking a history row jumped straight into the edit dialog and
deleting was impossible.

- RIGHT_CLICK constant: <ButtonRelease-3> (<ButtonRelease-2> on macOS)
- history + queue menus built once on self, not per click
- drop the premature grab_release()

+## 2026-09-07 — fix: right-click context menu instantly triggered its first item
+
+On Linux the Tab 2 (and queue) right-click menu flashed and immediately ran
+"Bearbeiten" / "Löschen", so entries couldn't be deleted. Cause: the menu was
+bound to `<Button-3>` (press) and `finally: menu.grab_release()` dropped the
+grab, so the following `<ButtonRelease-3>` selected the item under the cursor.
+Fix: bind `<ButtonRelease-3>` (`<ButtonRelease-2>` on macOS), build each menu
+once, and drop the premature `grab_release()`.

+## Tk popup menus: bind `<ButtonRelease-3>`, not `<Button-3>` (2026-09-07)
+
+`widget.bind("<Button-3>", …)` + `menu.tk_popup(x, y)` + `finally:
+menu.grab_release()` is the Windows idiom and **misfires on X11**: `tk_popup`
+returns immediately, `grab_release()` drops the menu's grab, and the pending
+`<ButtonRelease-3>` then activates whatever entry is under the cursor (the first
+one). Symptom here: right-click a history row → menu flashes → edit dialog opens.
+
+Rules for this codebase:
+- bind the release event: `RIGHT_CLICK` constant (`<ButtonRelease-3>`, or
+  `<ButtonRelease-2>` on macOS),
+- build each context menu **once** (store on `self`), don't recreate per click,
+- just call `menu.tk_popup(...)` — no `grab_release()`.
