User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.90 Safari/537.36 Build ID: 20170809204109 Steps to reproduce: I use the Keyboard only, no Mouse. I put the focus on the current Tab: - open multiple Tabs - press F6 to focus the Address-Input - press Shift + TAB to put the focus on the current Tab (might have to press it twice) - open the context-menu (right-click or the Menu-Keyboard-Button [the one next to SuperR]) - press the Up-/Down-Arrow-Keys to select a Menu item (e.g. "Close Tab") The important part is that it only happens when the focus was put on the Tab using the Keyboard. Additional info: It is just very very annoying and confusing, but nothing serious: e.g. "Close Tab" closes the originaly selected Tab, not the Tab the Up-/Down-Buttons switched to, but the user cant be sure which Tab gets closed. So even I think it is "Low priority" The Bug has been around forever, confirmed it on Windows and Linux. and on Version 48 and 52 and on one <=35 (cant remember the exact version) Actual results: The menu item gets selected, but also the Tab changes (as if the menu was never opened and the Up-/Down-Key was used to select the next/previouse Tab) Expected results: while the context menu is opend only the selected menu item should change, not the selected tab.
