You can remove that 'to' =)

I can say 'go' to this patch if it keeps working to bring up the context menu in maps.google.com, and to remove talent points here: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#I (click the squares to add points, then right-click to remove points). Does it? Would be good to have some layout tests for this =(.

OK.  But how do we test this?  r- for lack of tests (or lack of explanation as to why testing is impossible here).

This patch works in the pages commented in comment 2.

There were already layout tests for this, but they were skipped in GTK. This patch removes them from the Skipped list.
Also, popup menu position when invoked via keyboard is improved (popup menu appeared where the mouse cursor was, which could led to confusion if it was not above the selected node).

Click event handling using javascript is tested in fast/events/mouse-click-events.html; WebKitGTK fails that text, but in the results page it can be seen that the right button is correctly handled.

I very much like this patch, sorry for the delay in looking at it. I have a few questions:

 235     if (mainFrame->view() && mainFrame->eventHandler()->handleMousePressEvent(event))
 236         mousePressEventResult = TRUE;

Why do we use the main frame here, instead of the focusedOrMainFrame?

285      if (!start.node() || !end.node())
 303     if (!start.node() || !end.node()
 304         || (page->mainFrame()->selection()->selection().isCaret() && !page->mainFrame()->selection()->selection().isContentEditable()))

Same here, will this still work for multi-frame pages, such as, say, the patch review interface in this bugzilla? Thanks for digging the tests, that helps a lot in keeping the sanity =).

New version of the patch, this time it works well with multi-frame pages.

The build bots seem to think http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/55389 broke the mac builder.  But I don't believe them.
