To match the native app behaviour [caret should blink after the context menu hide which is same across all platforms] we should resume the caret blink after the menu hide.  Currently there is no way in which WebCore knows whether the context menu widget is hidden or not and it can even more troublesome in multi-process ports like Chromium or WebKit2 since widget is handled in different process. 

Instead we could resume caret after menu is dismissed which should be handled at WebKit port level rather than in WebCore. Also there might be usecases where action on menu will not dismiss the menu widget in which case with the WebCore solution we may move into an unwanted state of caret blinking even when menu is present.

My understanding is root cause of the bug is because of the way we handle the contextmenu creation/destroy which is defined WebKit port layer for each platform. So IMHO solution should also be in WebKit port layer rather than in WebCore.
