So it's not a problem with how I create my popup? At least that means I 
can stop trying to fix it :-) I forgot to mention this is with the 
stable version of Fox (1.6.57).

The same thing happens when I open the popup with the keyboard (I have a 
SEL_KEYPRESS handler that listens for Shift-F10).

I don't have a sub-popup, I only have this one context menu, which does 
not spawn any further ones.

Yes, cursor key navigation in FXMenuBar pulldown menus seems to work as 
expected. It's only when I open a menu with runModalWhileShown that it 
doesn't.
