It is not incorrect; it is right-handed.

It depends on how far the mouse pointer is from the selection.

Select faces/edges/vertices, press E to extrude. The newly formed  
faces/edges/vertices are automatically selected, and by default you are  
put in Grab mode; move the mouse to move them or right-click to keep them  
where they are. You can also switch from Grab mode to Scale or Rotate by  
pressing S or R.

F9 opens the Editing panel in the Buttons window. If the Editing panel was  
already active, nothing will happen.
