IgxChipComponent.chipClick event fires on right click and it also triggers selection.

You can try it in the docs page: https://www.infragistics.com/products/ignite-ui-angular/angular/components/chip.

Description

The above behavior might be caused by the following:

The igxDrag directive allows dragging via right-click. The directive is also used for the IgxChip and the grid's row-dragging feature. This leads to the chip being selected on right-click and the grid rows being reordered/dragged on right-click. At the end of each action, the default browser context menu is displayed.

For comparison, the web components chip does not allow right-click actions. https://www.infragistics.com/products/ignite-ui-web-components/web-components/components/inputs/chip#web-components-chip-example

Ignite UI Angular version

master (22.1.x), 22.0.x, 21.2.x

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any of the below samples
2. Perform the normal drag/click action, but with right-click.

Expected behavior

The igxDrag, igxChip, and the grid row drag feature should not allow drag/click actions or fire events on right-click.
