I agree the colors shouldn't be hidden in a 2nd level menu,
but left mouse click? no way, that would be just the same bad experience we have always had.
the idea is to make this automatic so user just highlights a word and the menu appears.
if you use copy shortcut instead of copy option in context menu, it's fine, not causing any problem for you, you can ignore it and use your keyboard shortcut, i do it too.
i do highlight single words in documents.

Left mouse click was one option I suggested. All I'm saying is that it should not appear on double click. Double click is an aid for focus. Text in PDF should not behave differently for all other text you read in the browser. Do not create a special mode for PDF, this degrades UX. If the user wants to highlight they can select the sharpie first and then highlight all they want.

on touch screen?
i'm using regular monitor with mouse + keyboard, double click doesn't focus on anything, just highlights the word, at least now with this new feature, highlight by double clicking offers some options, previously double click only highlighted, nothing else.
