Yes, looks weird for the UI component, right. The HtmlArea is also available as
low-level component and in this case you do not have the full-featured menu
manager available.
But, yes the UI-level HtmlArea can also position the menu itself. You can file
this as an enhancement bug.

The problem here is that the menu manager does listen to the "mousedown" events
of the document, but since the HtmlArea does provide its own document these
"mousedown" events are not captured. The HtmlArea itself has to implement the
functionality of providing the "mousedown" event at the HtmlArea instance.
Right now the event does not bubble and therefore it can't be used. Again, file
a bug report for this issue.
Regards,
Alex
