I use context menu frequently, so I double-checked this to see if there might have been a regression on that. No luck, or only good luck, depending on one's bent - it only works for me. Try this sample:

One issue may be that in the latest IDE it's no longer possible to set the traversalOn from the Inspector for popup menu buttons:

As the Inspector gets more fleshed out I find myself going back to my Props plugin, which shows everything (which may be overwhelming for some, but if you need seldom-used properties it can be handy):
