Ace: Context menu edit options are no longer selectable on chrome 54

[vegetableman]

After the latest chrome update to 54.0.2840.71, the context menu for editing - cut, copy, undo are no longer selectable.

I'm also having this problem in my own and all other instances of ACE in Chrome 54

Also have the same issue in Canary 56

@anonymousandrew are we sure this is the same issue? The bug described in that link seems to behave differently depending on the selected text. In regards to Ace, this issue is persistent inside any text field, regardless of how characters are selected.

I can confirm to be able to repro on the following:

OS details:

• OS X El Capitan 10.11.16
• OS X Sierra 10.12.1

Chrome details:

• Google Chrome Version 54.0.2840.98 (64-bit)
• Google Chrome Canary Version 57.0.2938.0 (64-bit)

I opened an issue on the chromium bug tracker because I'm not sure it's the same issue that @anonymousandrew pointed out.

Please star it.

It seems the root issue is that Chrome requires to focus on INPUT/TEXTAREA to show correct context menu after r413695, and usually right-mousedown focuses on the element, but Ace editor seems to prevent to focus.

Looks like Ace is to blame here?
In CodeMirror the menu items are working.

I wonder when will this fix be released?

@nightwing Would be great to get a release out to fix this bug

[omeryagmurlu]

Any workarounds while the fix is on the way?

I think it's fixed. Just needs a release
