COMMAND LINKS IN TREE TABLE DOESN'T ALLOW CONTEXT MENU TO SHOW UP

Question

I have a tree table with some columns, the "nodeStamp" facet has a column
which has the tree with an image and a command link. when i try bringing up
the context menu from anywhere on the table including the image the context
menu comes up fine. But when i try bringing up the context menu from the
command link it doesn't show/come up. Also it doesn't throw up any exception.
I have my code used as shown below.
Can anyone please let me know what could be the problem?
<af:treeTable var="step" id="lpexec34" rowBandingInterval="0"
columnStretching="blank" width="100%"
value="#{pageFlowScope.loadPlanExecutionDetailBean.relationships.loadPlanSteps
binding="#{pageFlowScope.loadPlanExecutionDetailBean.richTreeTable}"
initiallyExpanded="true">
<f:facet name="contextMenu">
<af:popup id="lpeStepsPopup" contentDelivery="lazyUncached">
<af:setPropertyListener
from="#{pageFlowScope.loadPlanExecutionDetailBean.relationships.loadPlanSteps.
rowData}"
to="#{rowStepData}"
type="popupFetch"/>
<af:menu id="lpeStepsContextMenu">
<af:commandMenuItem text="#{bundle.mark_as_complete}"
id="cmei0b"
actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.loadPlanExecutionDetailBean.actionPerformed}"
rendered="#{rowStepData.markAsCompleteRendered}">
<f:attribute name="lpiStepLog"
value="#{step.loadPlanInstanceStepLog}"/>
<f:attribute name="loadPlanInstance"
value="#{step.loadPlanInstance}"/>
</af:commandMenuItem>
</af:menu>
</af:popup>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:column headerText="#{bundle.lp_steps_header_stepsHierarchy}"
id="loadPlanexecDetail_hierarchy">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pledetail_pg10">
<af:image source="/resources/images/loadplan/#{step.elementType}.png"
inlineStyle="margin-right:3px; vertical-align:middle; height:16px;
width:16px;"/>
<af:commandLink id="lpcl0_lpe" text="#{step.name}"
action="#{pageFlowScope.loadPlanExecutionDetailBean.relationships.stepClicked}
">
<af:setPropertyListener from="#{step}"
to="#{pageFlowScope.lpElement}" type="action"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</af:column>
</f:facet>

Hi,
try setting partialSubmit=true on the command link. Just in case it fires the action method before the context menu displays
