bug(menu): Right click closes CDK Menu but not Component Menu

[shammy8]

Is this a regression?

• Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

The previous version in which this bug was not present was

No response

Description

When a mat-menu is opened and the user right clicks anywhere outside the mat-menu it does not close. Whereas for the cdkMenu when you right click outside the menu it close it. Is this the expected behaviour?

And is there any way to make the cdkMenu behave the same as mat-menu?

This makes inspecting the cdkMenu/cdkMenuItem etc. very hard as the menu disappears in the dom before I can open the console and inspect it.

Expected Behavior

I expect the cdkMenu and mat-menu to behave the same

cdkMenu and mat-menu do not behave the same when right clicking outside the menu.

I'm experiencing the same issue and want to align the cdk behaviour to the mat-menu behaviour. @shammy8 did you find out how to align the behaviours?
