Build ID: I20090313-0100

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a new hello world java project.
2. In the Package Explorer, left-click the little triangle next to "HelloWorld".
3. Right-click on "HelloWorld" to see its context menu. It should contain an entry "Close Project".
4. Right-click on "src".
  - Expected: the context menu of a source folder, which does not contain "Close Project".
  - Actually: the context menu of a Java Project, which contains "Close Project". (Clicking on "Close Project" has no effect since "src" is not a project).
5. Left-click on "src", then right-click on "src": The correct context menu appears.
6. Right-click on "Hello World".
  - Expected: The context menu of a Java Project, which contains "Close Project".
  - Actually: The context menu of a source folder, which does not contain "Close Project".


More information:
It seems as if the context menu Eclipse shows depends on the widget which received the last left-click. This is also a workaround whenever the wrong context menu appears, i.e. left-click then right-click shows the correct context menu.

The above steps are only one example of this bug, you can get the same for instance when right-clicking on a resource under version control and right-clicking on a resource not under version control. In this case, the Team menu should show up whenever the resource is under version control, however, it actually shows up depending on whether the last resource which was left-clicked is under version control.

Changing Version tag to something more believable.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

I am seeing this in Photon on MacOS Ventura.

was there ever a fix made for this?
