It is possible to accidentally have the context menu overlay an extension's
About dialog. The context menu remains fully operational and goes away, as soon
as the dialog is dismissed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Extensions manager.
2. Hit [App] and [A] in succession as quickly as possible
([App] is the special application menu key on Windows keyboards, usually found
once aside a [Win] key - it may be substituted with [Shift]+[F10], which however
makes it more difficult to reproduce this bug)
Actual Results:  
The context menu remains visible and might overlay the extension's About dialog.

Expected Results:  
The context menu disappears.

No longer able to reproduce this issue after Neil's popup code rewriting.
