I would like the emphasise that this bug applies to all HTML elements that
supposed the 'disabled' attribute EXCEPT for disabled 'option' elements;
context-menu behaves as expected on them.

Added the working disabled <option> element to the example.

This behavior persists on the above nightly.  I am confirming this and moving it
to Core/Event Handling, with the caveat that a developer may not view this
behavior as a bug.
