Right-clicking on the UI produces behavior like a web page. For example, the target of the content is treated like text instead of a UI element. The empirical state of the art says that if I click on an element in a UI in an app, it should not be treated as a text box but rather, the higher context. In the attached, this would be the crawl, not the value of the text of the content right-clicked.

This is still the case with the dmg build from 20160911.

@machawk1 I am still trying to find out if it is possible do this using electrons menus. So far I am not sure if it possible. Will probably have too look into another means of providing these context menus.

@N0taN3rd I am unfamiliar with the limitations of the electron environment but there are many other ways to override the context menu using JS. A first step might be to identify what would be displayed in a context menu if a row is clicked, i.e., what would a user want to DO with a crawl? Some of these actions are already present in the Action menu on the right.
