Hey guys,  
@Steve-Mcl and myself have a very annoying [issue](https://github.com/bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-ui-contextmenu/issues/9) with our [contextmenu](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/announce-node-red-contrib-ui-contextmenu-first-beta/16211/4) node.  
Summarized:

1. you click on a clickable shape in our new SVG node
2. an **output message** is being send (incl. X/Y coordinates) to our contextmenu node
3. the contextmenu node displays a menu at the location (specified in the input message)
4. you click somewhere else in the dashboard, so the context menu **disappears**
5. you deploy something.
6. now suddenly the last input message is received again, so we display the contextmenu AGAIN....

Does anybody have a tip to avoid the last input message being repeated?  
We have played with the `storeFrontEndInputAsState ` value but that doesn't help 🥴
