Hi librajt,

Thanks for your post.

I assume you are running the page in IE9 Standards Mode. It seems that IE9 standard mode treat <a href="#"><b style="display:block">test</b></a> as plain text, so that the context menu looks the same like you right click on black space of the web page or plain text.

I would like to recommend you try <b style="display:block"><a href="#">test</a></b>,  it works on my side.

Hope this helps, thanks.
