Dev channel update to 86.0.622.3 is live
josh_bodner I ask the Microsoft Edge developers to pay close attention to this issue: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1111346
This problem is also present in Edge
The problem is that this behavior is not native to the Windows operating system. In addition, it is very annoying if you are left-handed.

Vlad_Koon Since the arrow keys are used mostly for accessibility, I'll ask our accessibility folks if this is something they want to look into.

josh_bodner This behavior is completely inconsistent with the behavior of other context menus, both in the operating system itself and in other software. Also, this behavior only occurs on Windows and Linux. Everything works fine on macOS, predictably, because it uses native context menus.

Vlad_Koon Do you have any specific examples of context menus that behave the way you desire? As far as I can tell, using the steps you described in the post you previously linked to, all Windows and Windows application context menus behave the same way: as soon as you move the mouse cursor inside the bounds of the context menu, it takes precedence over whatever the previous selection was.
