Description

If one uses a custom display object for a custom cursor, the context menu does not work correctly.

Attached is a test app that allows custom cursors and a custom context menu.

When the default or a custom bitmap cursor is used, right clicking on the test area should show the custom context menu.

When a custom shape cursor is used, the "default" system manager's context menu is correctly shown.

For SDK 3.5 and 4.1 the default context menu is always incorrectly shown when the shape cursor is being used.

For SDK 3.2, the default context menu is incorrectly shown only the first right click. Subsequent right clicks correctly show the custom context menu.

This causes incorrect functioning, since a component's custom context menu cannot be reliably used.

Workaround:
The work around is to use a bitmap cursor.
