Opera: Caret doesn't move on right click [CORE-33108]

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Load sample01.html.
2. Click inside the linked "FCKeditor" text to place the caret there.
3. Right click out of the "FCKeditor" link (e.g. inside "sample text").

The link context menu options will be there because the caret was not moved to the right click point before the context menu got opened. To check it, it is enough to click in the empty space in the toolbar to hide the context menu; you will see that the caret is still in the original location.

Confirmed with Opera build 9972.

IMO this is likely a side-effect of the button hack you use to show right-click menus in Opera. It's probably hard to fix on your side but by design on our side. (And I want oncontextmenu support, dammit :( )

Probably the long-term fix is on our side with proper oncontextmenu support. For now we can live with this open I guess..

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

That's exactly what I've suspected Hallvord, and your solution seems the only way to go. We can live with it for now.

Please close this bug if you like, reported on Opera's side as CORE-33108 and I think it's better fixed on our side.

Fixed in Opera when it switched to Blink.
