I vaguely remember seeing some "follow focus" option in the stringgrid
which I think solves this problem.

Alternatively, in the OnClick or OnShowMenu (if there is such an
event) you should be able to query the row under the mouse cursor
position. Then set the focus row to that row, then wait to see what
the user selects in the popup menu.

VirtualTree is over-engineering at its best! I don't like that component at all.
