Contextual Menu Showing when it should not be

General
1

I have a Canvas… and in the MouseDown I have “If IsContextualClick Then return false”

This calls of course, ConstructContextualMenu

HOWEVER… The first line checks the contents of a variable… basically “did the user right click inside a specific rectangle?”

if index_CONTROL<0 then return false

If index_CONTROL>=0 then it is supposed to display the menu (which it does)…

If the user selected DELETE from the menu… the rectangle area is removed, and index_Control is set to -1

BUT if the user “right clicks” again… the menu displays AGAIN… BUT IT DOES BAIL when it hits the check above
meaning the rest of the ConstructContextualMenu doesn’t execute again… but the menu still displays

Here is the entire code for ConstructContextualMenu

 #pragma Unused x
  #pragma Unused y
  Dim m As MenuItem
  debug "Enter CC="+ str(index_CONTROL)
  if index_CONTROL<0 then return false //   <====== IT DOES EXIT HERE, but menu still displays
  //
 // 
 // 
  m=New MenuItem("Delete",cmd_DELETE)
  base.Append m
  m=New MenuItem("Lock Position",cmd_Lock)
  base.Append m
  base.Append(New MenuItem(MenuItem.TextSeparator))
  m=New MenuItem("Duplicate Control",cmd_DUPCTRL)
  base.Append m
  m=New MenuItem("Duplicate Screen",cmd_DUPSCRN)
  m.Enabled=false
  base.Append m
  //
 //
 //
  debug "Show CC="+ str(index_CONTROL) // <======= THIS LINE DOES NOT SHOW UP WHEN BOGUS MENU IS DISPLAYED!!
  Return True

Is it the Cocoa bug discussed here?

Sure does look like it… once the CC menu has been constructed correctly once… you cannot seem to get rid of it…

and the hack in the Feedback case solved the problem … thanks
