 Login to WP-Admin, go to the comments section and "Quick edit" or "Reply"
 to a comment.

 Bring up the context menu either with a right-click or the menu key, press
 ESC and the context menu and the comment box will close.

 I understand that this is the expected behaviour but this can be
 frustrating at times.

 If you bring up the context menu while typing a long reply but decide not
 to autocorrect and press ESC to close the context menu everything you've
 typed so far is gone :(

 The "Compose email" section of both Gmail and Outlook.com close themselves
 when ESC is pressed but don't if the context menu is open. So I thought
 WordPress should also have the same behaviour.

 The patch checks for a right click or menu key press before doing
 `commentReply.revert()`.
