It is a Safari bug. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/170345

@bummoblizard could a keyboard shortcut to bring up the menu be added? That would be a decent workaround for the moment.

You can already do this in the Custom keyboard shortcuts section in the settings menu. For example, I set Command-D as the shortcut for Show Editor Context Menu.

Thanks for the tip. I ended up setting Cmd-R for myself. This will help for now.

I can verify that the latest iPadOS builds haven’t resolved the issue with WebKit. I also provided feedback to Apple and am going to raise this in the WebKit issues to see if anyone has insights.

Issue raised at WebKit Bugzilla

There may have been a fix for some in iPadOS Beta 8, but so far it hasn’t worked for me. WebKit team is aware of the issue and working on resolving.
