Hi Michael,

This problem should be fixed in the 1.53g2 daily build, where the context menu is not displayed if the cursor has moved.  It would help to have a small plugin that reproduces this problem. The macros in the Help>Examples>Tools menu that move overlay objects (e.g., the Circle Tool) do not trigger the context menu.
