Tree context menu and browser context menu
I have added an item context menu to my tree with addActionHandler. Now when I right click the item, the popup menu is opened but also the browser context menu opens and hides the Vaadin popup. I can left click anywhere on the page to hide the browser context menu and see the tree item popup but I doubt my users will accept this solution. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem?
BTW, the same happens for the tree popup menu on the sampler page. I am using the latest Firefox on Mac OS X if this matters.

I tested the "Tree, context menu" sample from demo.vaadin.com (6.3.0) with Firefox 3.6.3 (OSX), and could not reproduce this error.
Can anyone else try this?
Here is a screenshot of what I get with Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS X when I right-click an item in the tree context menu sampler. If you look closely you can see the Vaadin context menu below the Firefox context menu.
I have similar problem but slightly different scenario. Here is what I have. I have a tree and one of the column's content is CssLayout ( to add a String and a button). Normally (if this column content is just a string) my context-menu works just fine, but when I have CssLayout as column content and when I place mouse on THIS column and do a right click, instead of my context-menu appearing, browser right-click menu is appearing. On any other column right click does produce my context-menu.
Please suggest any solutions for this issue.
Thanks

Couldn't reproduce with Firefox 3.6.3 on OS X. Could this be an issue with some Firefox add-on?
I have tested my code with IE7, FireFox 3.6.3 and Chrome 5.0.375. All of them have same behavior.
