I'm posting this here as it's an issue I'm running into when developing a skin, however I think it may be a core Kodi issue?
In my Library View I have my main Library container and also a secondary container with other related content. The problem is that for items in the main library view I can press 'c' and the context menu pops up fine, however the context menu wont appear for items in the secondary container when pressing 'c'
The problem gets stranger when I highlight an item in the secondary container using a mouse and then press the right mouse button and the context menu for that item pops up fine.
So the issue isn't that the context menu doesn't work/exist for the secondary container but that you can't access it using the 'c' key or any context menu button on a remote.... but you can access it using a right mouse click.
This problem can be easily demoed using the Amber skin:-
1. Set your TV Show view to 'Triple' then highlight any tv show item in the first column using a keyboard/remote and press 'c' to correctly bring up the context menu.
2. Now move over to either the season or episode column using the remote/keyboard and press 'c' the context menu wont appear.
3. Now using a mouse highlight an item from either seasons or episodes and right click and the context menu appears perfectly fine
The only other mention of this issue I can find is here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=340295
I've opened an issue on github:- https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/20285
Any ideas?
