Re: Disable the default contextmenu in richtext editor

You are on the right track with these:
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();

But firstly, are you clear about the difference between a "Click"
event and Event.ONCONTEXTMENU?

You may be trying to suppress the click event, but you really need to
1) sink the context menu event, and 2) prevent default actions...

myElement.sinkEvents(Event.ONCONTEXTMENU)

... followed by...

event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation(); (this might not even be necessary)

... should do it.

<wild speculation>
If not, then another idea is that the rich text area is probably using
an IFrame, am I right? If so it may be the case that the events
belonging to *this* window, and the events belonging to the IFrame are
handled in different places.
</wild speculation>
