Actually, the above sequence is perfectly right. You just have to make sure
that the focus transitions happen at the "right point", e.g.,

This would be the wrong sequence. The right one goes like this:
* the focus is on a browser code pane and you right-click on a category list
* the menu pops up aquires focus and remembers the previous one
* you select "add category"
[--> here is the difference <--]
* the menu passes the focus back to list
* the menu *THEN* fires, closes and the FITBM opens
[--> end of difference <--]
* the FITBM aquires focus
* you enter the new name and accept
* the FITBM passes focus back to the category list
* the FITBM *THEN* closes and continues
* etc.
