Bug with Popup menus on Windows

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Peter,

I have exactly the same problem in a plugin for in-house use. I have a field with a mouseUp and a mouseDown handler. The mouseDown handler shows the popup menu and the mouseUp handler does something unrelated. On Mac it works fine, but on Windows it doesn't. I don't know if this is useful information for you, but maybe it gives you a hint somehow.
