No abbility to ContextMenu.show after modal dialog

[avin]

As ContextMenu.show uses single DOM element, if modal popover made after first time ContextMenu.show - new menu is behind modal dialog popover.

this behavior is most certainly intentional, and kind of par for the course. overlays open in a stack simply due to DOM ordering, so if you open a Dialog over a Popover (context menu), it's going to cover it.

what if you want to show a context menu on an item in a Dialog?

have to use dirty hack with setup z-index on selector .pt-context-menu + .pt-portal

not sure how my comment got deleted, but I'm pretty sure the issue is here, where we only ever create the context menu portal container element once per instance of blueprint:

blueprint/packages/core/src/components/context-menu/contextMenu.tsx

Line 119 in 383caf3

document.body.appendChild(contextMenuElement);

oh ok that's reasonable. we can make a new element each time.
