I added context menu to all input boxes for copy/cut/paste in libcosmic. It works in all libcosmic apps, except for app-library and cosmic-launcher.

Turns out cosmic-comp's focus refresh decides that a context menu is not allowed to have focus while app-library is open. Since app-library opens with KeyboardInteractivity::Exclusive and refresh-focus has a rule that if a surface has exclusive keyboard interactivity then no pop up is a valid focus target, it ungrabs the pop up in the next tick.

The solution would be to check if the parent of the pop up is the surface with exclusive keyboard interactivity and allow it.

It seems correct to treat popups on an exclusive layer as valid keyboard targets.
