Summary Right click on an unloaded <embed> or <object> should display context menu
Ridley Combs
Reported 2010-06-29 21:36:38 PDT
If a user right-clicks on an <embed> or an <object> with no plugin loaded (i.e. no src= attribute or onBeforeLoad returning false), the event should be handled by WebCore, not passed to an unloaded, unspecified plugin. The WebKit context-menu should appear, instead of nothing showing up (as WebKit passes the event directly to the plugin view, which isn't loaded).

Mass closing plug-in bugs, as plug-in support has been removed from WebKit. Please comment and/or reopen if this still affects WebKit in some way.

Alexey, I literally said, "This bug still exists in Safari 15.5 on macOS 12.4 Monterey." I am aware that plug-in support has been removed from WebKit. That's actually the problem here. There's now a blank space on the web page that's not responsive to control-click. You can't even "Inspect Element".

Thank you for the follow up. I did scan titles of the bugs before closing, but didn't notice that this one needed more careful examination.
