    Hello,

    I’ve encountered an inconsistent behavior when interacting with a chart’s context menu in a macOS environment, depending on how the menu is opened.

    Description of the Issue

    When attempting to open the chart’s context menu and selecting an option like “Copy” or “Check Chart Type,” the chart exhibits different behaviors based on the click method used to open the menu.

    Opening Context Menu with Control+Click (Keybard + Click):

    The chart is auto-selected upon opening the menu or selecting an option.

    The chart moves as the mouse cursor is moved immediately after closing the menu or selecting an option.

    Opening Context Menu with a Double Click:

    The chart is auto-selected upon opening the menu or selecting an option.

    The chart does not move as the mouse cursor is moved.

    Expected Behavior

    The chart should behave consistently regardless of the method used to invoke the context menu. Ideally, once an action is performed from the context menu (like copying), the chart should not automatically enter a selection/move state unless explicitly clicked for that purpose. The behavior seen with the double-click method is preferable.

    Hi,

    We were able to reproduce the behavior on our end as well. However, we’re not certain whether this is expected, so we’ve escalated the issue to the concerned team. The internal tracking ID is SJS-31873. I’ll update you as soon as we receive any information.

    Regards,
