Description
### Is this a regression?
- [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
_No response_
### Description
When a mat-menu is opened and the user right clicks anywhere outside the mat-menu it does not close. Whereas for the cdkMenu when you right click outside the menu it close it. Is this the expected behaviour?
And is there any way to make the cdkMenu behave the same as mat-menu?
This makes inspecting the cdkMenu/cdkMenuItem etc. very hard as the menu disappears in the dom before I can open the console and inspect it.
### Reproduction
StackBlitz link: https://stackblitz.com/run?file=src%2Fapp%2Fcdk-menu-standalone-menu-example.ts
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the cdkMenu
2. Right click outside the menu
3. The menu closes
StackBlitz link: https://stackblitz.com/run?file=src%2Fapp%2Fmenu-icons-example.ts
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the mat-menu
2. Right click outside the menu
3. The menu stays open
### Expected Behavior
I expect the cdkMenu and mat-menu to behave the same
### Actual Behavior
cdkMenu and mat-menu do not behave the same when right clicking outside the menu.
### Environment
- Angular: 16
- CDK/Material: 16
- Browser(s): Chrome
- Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): Windows
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the two reproduction entry points, src/app/cdk-menu-standalone-menu-example.ts and src/app/menu-icons-example.ts, and compare the CDK menu and mat-menu behavior when right-clicking outside. Trace the outside-click handling for each menu and determine which behavior should be aligned. Done means both examples behave consistently when inspected in Chrome.
