Bug 26649 – <div> has higher z-index than <iframe> but context menu etc. is for <iframe>

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: CONFIGURATION CHANGED
• Component: Frames

[Bill Keese]

I'll attach a test case shortly.   Basically, there's an <iframe> at z-index: 0, and then a <div> at z-index: 999, but when you right-click over the <div> you get the menu for the <iframe> (with choices like "open in new window")

Not shown in the test case, but probably related, is a bug where you can paste into the underlying <iframe> (by using the paste option from the context-menu) even though the iframe is theoretically hidden by the div.

test case showing how iframe gets events even though it's hidden behind a div

It looks like iframes have somehow priority among contextmenu event listeners - even if the iframe is hidden, page's main contextmenu handler is overriden. In the show case attached below there is contextmenu event handler on main document element that displays alert and suppresses default browser menu display by returning false. However, in the area where _hidden_ iframe resides, main page's handler is ignored.

I am not able to reproduce this in Safari 15.5 on macOS 12.4 based on attached test case.

When clicking on "Grey" area, it does not show me any "frame" specific context menu, which might have been the case in the past.

Can we mark it as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED", if it was fixed along the ways? Thanks!

Yeah, not reproducing now.
