Comment #3 on issue 23970 by [email protected]: Page "Right click  
menu" opens at the toolbar
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23970

I was just about to blame Apple, but then I realized that TextEdit doesn't  
exhibit this kind of problem.

I thought about it some more, and realized that this is probably a  
webkit-doesn't-know-where-the-mouse-is problem. The problem is that
while a menu is open (and tracking the mouse), no mouse moves get sent down  
to the renderer. The same problem can be exhibited using
the main menu (open a main menu, right click somewhere; the bad behaviour  
isn't quite as consistent though, for reasons unknown to me).

Safari/Mac presumably avoids all these problems since their webkit port (or  
maybe Safari itself) sends lots of fake mouse move messages
(before every click, I think). (I wonder if Safari/Windows has this  
problem, since it does *not* send lots of fake mouse moves. But Windows
mouse tracking may be sufficiently different so to avoid this problem.)
