Happens if the contextMenu is shown directly in onContextMenuRequested (vs control.setContextMenu - which isn't available for Nodes that are not of type Control anyway).

To reproduce, compile and run the example below
- press F9
- expected: log message printed
- actual: nothing

To make it work, uncomment the access to hidden api. Actually, even this need for additional registration is unexpected - would expect accelerators to "just work" when set on a MenuItem.

In RL it's critical f.i. in contextMenus of TableHeader: see http://stackoverflow.com/q/39721544/203657
