Re: why doesn't this right-click capture work in IE?

You are using the older method of event handling. This method works
fine for me:

addDomHandler(new ContextMenuHandler()
{
@Override
public void onContextMenu(ContextMenuEvent event)
{
showMenu();
event.preventDefault();
}
}, ContextMenuEvent.getType());
