Z-index inconsistency when ContextMenu is invoked manually vs via Selector

[Jeffrey]

I've got a ContextMenu that is invoked by clicking a button ... it is not invoked via the Selector property of the ContextMenu.

<div 
    class="d-flex k-align-items-center justify-content-center icon-button"
    title="Download"
    id="download-menu"
    @oncontextmenu:preventDefault="true"
    @onclick="((MouseEventArgs e) => ShowDownloadMenu(e))">
    <i class="fad fa-file-download"></i>
    Download
</div>
<TelerikContextMenu
    @ref="@DownloadMenu"
    Data="@DownloadMenuItems"
    OnClick="@((MenuItem item) => DownloadMenuHandler(item))">
</TelerikContextMenu>

Here's where the menu is invoked:

private async Task ShowDownloadMenu(MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == 0)
    {
        await DownloadMenu.ShowAsync(e.ClientX, 45);
    }
}

 

When the context menu is invoked via code, the z-index value comes from .k-animation-container and is set to 100.  As you can see, the menu is not given an explicit z-index value:

<div 
    class="k-animation-container telerik-blazor k-widget k-animation-container-shown" 
    data-id="94f3d3b5-3db1-4940-ab74-c03895eeeaa2" 
    id="94f3d3b5-3db1-4940-ab74-c03895eeeaa2" 
    style="width: auto; left: 554px; top: 45px;"

This is fine in most cases except when the ContextMenu is within a Window component, in that case the menu is displayed behind the window.  

If the same context menu is invoked by way of the Selector property on the ContextMenu and a right-click, it is given an explicit z-index value (in this case 10003), such that it will display in front of the Window component:

<div 
    class="k-animation-container telerik-blazor k-widget k-animation-container-shown" 
    data-id="e0cd095f-32f8-40a5-af0b-0e0ddc2a0f71" 
    id="e0cd095f-32f8-40a5-af0b-0e0ddc2a0f71" 
    style="width: auto; z-index: 10003; top: 81px; left: 556px;">

I've tried to override the z-index by adding a Class to the ContextMenu but the class gets added to an inner <div>, not the topmost <div> so the z-index is useless.

 

I've tested a brute force solution by overriding z-index on the .k-animation-container class and it seems to work but it feels like overkill.

Hello Jeffrey,

Thank you for this report, I logged it for fixing and you can track it with this page: https://feedback.telerik.com/blazor/1548718-showing-the-context-menu-via-its-api-method-does-not-set-its-z-index - it also contains a link to the potential workaround -a bit of a CSS hack that I intentionally keep behind the link to make sure people read the implication - that it will affect all animation containers on the site.
