Replying to tobiasz.cudnik:
Correct shortcut for context menu is SHIFT+F10.
Using CTRL+SHIFT+F10 causes the reported result, although rebinding context menu to this key combination in CKEDITOR.config.keystrokes make it work again.
Shift+F10 opens the context menu outside the editor area. To open the context menu inside the editor area, we have to use Ctrl+Shift+F10. But in this case we are not able to navigate. I think, this issue should be fixed.

What do you mean by "opens context menu outside the editor area" ? When focus is inside editor area, pressing SHIFT+F10 results in showing the menu outside editor's area ? Or SHIFT+F10 doesn't work inside editor's area ?
For me SHIFT+F10 works as it should, which i've confirmed on IE6 and IE8.
I'm attaching the patch which simply extends default config to handle Ctrl+Shift+F10 directly.

I am attaching two screenshots showing behaviour when Shift+F10 and Ctrl+Shift+F10 is pressed.

Wrong position is already covered by #3528 and fix is available in SVN.

@Pranav: In IE, 'contextmenu' event key 'CTRL+SHIFT+F10' is conflicting with the 'F10' hotkey of giving focus to browser's menu bar, it's a browser bug, so if you want to trigger contextual menu at browser default position( instead of at the top-left corner of the document ), use MenuKey instead. @Tobias: I'm afraid we should always preserve OS/Browser native keys as much as possible.

After talking with Tobias, it's turned out that this keystroke (CTRL+SHIFT+F10) is one of those proprietary keys binding of IE, so we could override to avoid any confusion.

Fixed with [4177].
