      I have attached context menus to multiple JavaFX Nodes. Once I right-click on a node, a context menu is shown. As soon as I select an item from the context menu, the browser window losses focus due to RT-23879
      Now that I clicked in the context menu, I right-click on another node in order to access it's context menu, however I face multiple issues:
      - In FF the context menu does not appear at all (seems to appear _bellow_ the browser window)
      - In Safari the context menu is missing the javafx focus i.e. items are not higlighted when the mouse is over

      This seems to happen because the browser window is missing a focus, but right-clicking inside the applet does not grab the focus back while it produces events and triggers context menus.
      A workaround is to left-click in the browser first and then right-click
