I would just like to say, that I really hate the right-click editing. Mostly because I can no longer right click on headings that are also links to open them in a new page. Could we make this a feature you can turn off in the user preferences?

First, it has long been our MoS policy that links in headings should be avoided.
Second, even if there are any, with a decent browser you can open them by middle- or ctrl+-left-clicking. Mozilla additionally supports type-ahead find and lets you navigate the links with [Tab]s.

A mere MoS policy, that may apply only to [[en:]] anyway, shouldn't be enforced by the software in the default option. Not that it's that simple, given your second point:

But I have seen a couple occasions where links in headers were good. (Rare, but existent.) They should not break -- and they haven't broken, but we should still be sensitive to that possibility when designing defaults.

Right click editing is not and has never been the default option. Michael changed it and then whined about it.
My mistake! I inferred otherwise from Michael's post. It's all fine then.
