Bug #30216	Drawer's context menu has no context

Description:
When you right-click on a table/database in the drawer, it doesn't give you a context menu for what you clicked on, but rather for the table/database that was last left-clicked. This is unintuitive, error-prone, and doesn't follow standard UI expectations. Also, it's easily fixed.

How to repeat:
- Normal (left) click on an item in the drawer.
- Context (right) click on a different item in the drawer.

Expected result: You get a context menu for what you context-clicked on.

Actual result: You get a context menu for what you normal-clicked on, but in the location of what you context-clicked on.

Suggested fix:
When you context-click, it should select what you clicked on (as if you'd normal-clicked) and then do as it does now (open a context menu for the selected item.) This might be a one or two line fix.

If that's impossible, you could at least make the context menu appear over the item it's actually relating to, which would reduce error (but not fix the unintuitiveness).

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.
