rubyFeedback created an issue (geany/geany#4541)

The current behaviour of geany, as I compiled it from git sources
very recently, with regards to right mouse button click onto the
lower pane where all open files are shown, is as follows:

- We get a pop-up window. In this pop-up window we first see
all files, so if we have opened the files foobar1.md, foobar2.md
and foobar3.md, we get a listing of these files. This list is 
dynamically generated: when I move the last file to, say, the
position two files to the left, that pop-up window shows that
changed position, so I assume this must be dynamically generated.
So far this is the functionality I want, and am used to.

There are additional "menu" options shown though. For instance,
"Open in new window" or "Close". I am not reasoning that this
functionality is useless, mind you; some users may like that
option. Personally though, I prefer just having the files as-is,
without any additional options here. Specifically I would like
the last file to also appear on the bottom of that pop-up
widget. Is there an option to enable this? For instance "show
only the files" or so? If not then I would like to propose such
a functionality in the preferences option; if it already exists
please disregard and close this issue request, I haven't seen
it yet.

Rationale for the proposed change:

To me the files are what is important, not in-built functionality,
when it comes to the right-mouse button press event in that lower
pane, especially when there are many open files. I can then rearrange
things more easily too. For instance, the file I am currently
modifying should usually be on the very right side, in about 90%
of the use cases I have, yet I accidentally click "Close All" or
something like that with the current behaviour geany shows.

As some users may prefer the current status quo I do not propose
to remove it; only to have an option to adjust this to another
default for me and other users who may prefer this. Thanks for
reading this issue request.
