Accesskey jQuery Modal Dialog not working

[CiTRO33]

Hello,

i upgraded to the latest Version of contextmenu.
With the new Version the accesskeys didn't work anymore in modal jQuery Dialogs
I created a demo to show the problem:
https://jsfiddle.net/t31wtnny/
The contextmenu can be triggered with right click on"test".

i figured it out that Linie 552 cause the problem:
getZIndexOfTriggerTarget(e.target);
// If targetZIndex is heigher then opt.zIndex dont progress any futher.
// This is used to make sure that if you are using a dialog with a input / textarea / contenteditable div
// and its above the contextmenu it wont steal keys events
if (targetZIndex > opt.zIndex) { return; }

When i open the demo i do get an alert, am i missing something?

Hey,
i updated the fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/t31wtnny/1/ i think because of mixed content loading (http/https) something didn't worked correct.
It should look like:

the alert isnt comming if i use the accesskey "o" to open the "overview"-menu item.

If you change modal: true to modal: false the accesskey is working

Hey @bbrala
did you had some time to look into this problem?

Hmm, i've looked at the problem, and i think the fact you use modal:true you block the interaction with everything else through the modal dialog. From the documnetation:

If set to true, the dialog will have modal behavior; other items on the page will be disabled, i.e., cannot be interacted with. Modal dialogs create an overlay below the dialog but above other page elements.

I don't think i can really fix that.

i think the problem come with the pull #335

I debugged into the fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/t31wtnny/1/

So the zIndex of the Dialog is behind (101) the contextMenu (102).
(This could be, because the contextMenu is build on the fly via the build function)
But in the check ( Line 552) on the zIndex the opt.zIndex is used.

If i understand the zIndex option http://swisnl.github.io/jQuery-contextMenu/docs.html#zindex correctly
this is only an offset that will be added on creation of the contextmenu.

Maybe this change on line 552 could fix the problem:
if (opt.$menu && parseInt(targetZIndex,10) > parseInt(opt.$menu.css("zIndex"),10) ) { return; }

But i dont know if this break the the pull #335

I also tried this method: https://api.jqueryui.com/dialog/#method-_allowInteraction
but also here the line 552 stops the accesskey to work.

Maybe you can use this information to find a solution.
Thanks!

Hmm, thanks for looking a little deeper for a possible explaination. It sounds quite reasonable... I'll have to test a bit to see if it is indeed an error in logic regarding the zIndex.
