I've tried this by putting this in _beforeAppear for the context menu
class:
var oFocusRoot =
qx.event.handler.EventHandler.getInstance().getFocusRoot();
var oTarget = oFocusRoot == null ? null : oFocusRoot.getActiveChild();
this._m_oOldTarget = oTarget;
and then this in _afterDisappear:
if (this._m_oOldTarget && this._m_bIsContextMenu)
{
this._m_oOldTarget.setFocused(true);
}
However, it's not ideal. The main control we have is a table. Before the
context menu is shown the keyboard focus is on the qx.ui.table.Table
class. The target found by the getActiveChild() call is an instance of
qx.ui.table.pane.Pane. Consequently the highlight colour for focus isn't
displayed correctly, but the keyboard does work correctly on the table
(e.g. pressing up selects the next line up).
Is this area being worked on in 0.8?
