@@ -30,6 +30,10 @@ All notable changes for each version of this project will be documented in this
 - `IgxGrid`, `IgxTreeGrid`, `IgxHierarchicalGrid`
     - Enhanced the advanced filtering to emit the `filtering` event when filters are applied.
 
+### General
+- `IgxGrid`, `IgxTreeGrid`, `IgxHierarchicalGrid`
+    - The `contextMenu` event now fires when the end-user clicks to the right of the right-most cell in the grid in case the grid's columns don't span its full width. For this reason the event argument of the event is now of type `IGridContextMenuEventArgs` which contains the row object as well as the cell one. The latter will be `null` if the event didn't originate from a cell. **This is not a breaking change** as the new type extends the old.
+
 ## 17.1.0
 ### New Features
 - `IgxGrid`, `IgxTreeGrid`, `IgxHierarchicalGrid`
