When composing a message on desktop (Mac), if you misspell a word, a redline shows below it and you can right click the misspelled word to get a recommendation for the correct spelling. If you've already sent the message, click edit, you're unable to right click the redlined, misspelled word to get a recommendation for the correct spelling.

It looks like there's something in the edit box suppressing the use of context menus all together. I think this is something on which an external contractor should be able to work.

Yes @deetergp PressableWithSecondaryInteraction prevents the Context-menu or right-click which blocks the default menu from opening.

App/src/components/PressableWithSecondaryInteraction/index.js

Line 33 in 7e395c5

e.preventDefault();

To fix this we can add a prop to PressableWithSecondaryInteraction, called preventDefault which will be set to true by default and allow the normal operation as now.

When we are editing a message i.e. this.props.draftMessage=== true, we can set this preventDefault=false which will not block the right-click.

  if (this.props.preventDefault) {
            e.preventDefault();
    }

Now a native menu will work.

@parasharrajat That looks good, let's do it!

@arielgreen Not sure how I managed to un-assign you, but now I've added you back. Let's get this into Upwork so Rajat can work on it.

@parasharrajat I just sent over an offer on Upwork.
