Comment (by axeld):

 Replying to [comment:6 Duggan]:
 > Plus, in that particular instance the menu itself covers other controls
 on the preflet which adds another mouse click to hide the menu and overall
 the presence of the menu in no way enhances the control or form and thus
 is detrimental to usability.

 Huh? Why would you right click anyway, unless you wanted to see said
 context menu?

 I would agree that a password text field should probably disable at least
 part of the menu (hint: the copy part), but I can hardly think of a reason
 on why to introduce such a flag.
