so you might show a popup for inactive tab? wouldn't it look rather odd to have
a select popup seemingly in the middle of nowhere

Yeah, it's weird, but I'm just trying to fix the linked bug in a general way. 
I'll file a separate bug about menus being openable for inactive tabs (which
works on Windows Chrome as well).
