The HTML menus associated with the actions on the current editor (copy, paste, select etc.) are not functional. To reproduce: change the line in src/utils/Global.js from

    global.brackets.nativeMenus = (!global.brackets.inBrowser && (global.brackets.platform !== "linux"));

to

    global.brackets.nativeMenus = false;

start the editor and try any of the above mentioned menu items, e.g. Select All.

The root cause of this is that bootstrap implementation of dropdown (used to implement the HTML menu) is calling $(this).focus() explicitly which, in turn, causes current CM instance to lose the focus and the command cannot get the current editor instance to act upon.

@busykai Nice catch! This was broken when we updated bootstrap to the newer version in sprint 26.
