Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.86 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: Yet another pathetic glitch of the History UI 1. go to chrome://history 2. place the mouse cursor over one of the checkboxes of the left column without clicking 3. right-click (this displays the context menu) 4. left-click somewhere outside of the checkbox and of the context menu, to close the context menu What is the expected behavior? the context menu should close and nothing else should happen What went wrong? When you right-click and the context menu shows up, the checkbox gets highlighted (not selected) as if you had pressed the left button on it. Not a big deal if the highlight went away when releasing the right button, but it doesn't. When you left-click somewhere else, the context menu closes, and the checkbox remains highlighted forever until you click somewhere. Complete nonsense. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 59.0.3071.86 Channel: n/a OS Version: Flash Version:

> it implies something is different while it's not, which is a bad UX design. I'm pretty sure it's not by design, just a bug. Bad programming rather than bad design.

The grey highlight is there to indicate that the checkbox still has keyboard focus after closing the context menu. You can confirm this by pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard after closing the context menu -- the focus highlight will move through the list appropriately. Clicking outside the list will remove the keyboard focus and therefore remove the focus. I agree that the behavior of this highlight isn't perfect (eg, issue 663322 ), but I think this case is entirely reasonable. Further, the highlight in this case isn't directly controlled by us on Chromium. We use a reusable element from the Polymer project called 'paper-icon-button-light', which exhibits the same behavior wherever it is used. See, for example: https://www.webcomponents.org/element/PolymerElements/paper-icon-button/v1.1.6/demo/demo/paper-icon-button-light.html https://earth.google.com/web/ If you wish to follow up on this issue more, I would suggest filing a bug upstream with the Polymer folks at https://github.com/PolymerElements/paper-icon-button/issues For now, though, I'm marking this as WontFix since I don't think there's anything which can be done from Chromium's side.
