A simple test for whether the problem lies deeper is
to do absolutely nothing in the action performed, just
to check that the menu disappears quickly when
there is no process behind it..

before posting code to usenet, as some news clients,
and web based interfaces to usenet, expand tabs to
ridiculous widths.
