Better support for right click
At the moment you need to use various hacks to enable right
click context menus in Silverlight:
It would be nice to have a built in event like OnRightClick or use
OnClick with a flag in the argument to check if it was a right
click.
-
Better support for double click
There currently is no double click event in Silverlight 2.0. You
need to use various hacks with timers to detect two clicks in a
given space of time (
Silverlight 2.0 Double Click Support
)
There should be a built in event for double click just like in
Windows Forms.

Silverlight ignores my IE Font size request
IE should disable this size option in the menu (when the whole
page is just Silverlight). Or is it possible to make it work
with Silverlight?
