Yes, same results in -safe-mode (without windows power-toys X-Mouse, wheel redirector application).
N.G.: Shredder, Miramar, TB 3.1
OK  : TB 3.0

on Windows(XP) only, may be...
to other people, Please check this issue on other version of Windows, or platforms.

p.s. I'm very sorry for misspelling in summary and Comment #0 ...

This "message pane" means message body field in compose window.

> Steps to Reproduce:

2. move mouse pointer to message body field in compose window.

> 3.right click

... and if you don't install extension which adding menu item for context menu,
there are only small difference between To:, Subject: and message body field context menu.
So please check carefully.

I'd checked in safe mode, comment #2 is in TB's safe-mode results.
(without...) sentences mean, exception of other mouse utilities' effect, only.

This might be by design. Could you expand a bit why you would want the menu to be where the focus is and not where the click is happening ?

This is by design, though the focus on different areas does create somewhat of a strange effect this happens everywhere in the application.  We couldn't create a fix here (if we felt it was an issue) without changing most other pieces of Thunderbird.

I'd be surprised if this weren't a duplicate (and I like surprises).
Might be described in different terms

Probably!, but usully I remember bugs that mentioning "right click on folder list node..." and not messages pane: in anyway, for me, this is Invalid because is the default behavior on (for example) Windows OS (xref bug #448328 comment #7).

For example, on Windows OS, clicking on a treeview node (as I suppose TB messages pane is) with right mouse button, don't select the node also if the node is highlited!
