Context Menu Item Immediately Selected on Right-Click Release

[fweth]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes, but I use native titlebar style, which gives me a different context menu, it doesn't occur with custom titlebar style.

• VS Code Version: 1.99.0-insider
• OS Version: Xubuntu 22.04

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open any file.
2. Right-click on a word in the code such that the context menu appears behind the cursor, not beneath it. This typically happens when there's not enough space at the bottom of the screen to display the menu.
3. Release the right mouse button.

Expected Behavior:
The context menu should remain open after releasing the right mouse button, allowing you to move the mouse and click an item with the left button.

Actual Behavior:
As soon as you release the right mouse button, the item currently under the cursor is immediately selected. The context menu can still be used, but only if you drag the mouse while holding the right button down — not using the more convenient pattern of right-click → move mouse → left-click on an option.

Same problem here. I noticed if the screen space is not enough for right menu full length, the problem will happend.

Ah, I noticed it’s because when set "window.titleBarStyle": "native". But I don’t actually need a native context menu—I only set the title bar to native because I want to save screen estate. It would be nice if there were a way to use the native title bar without the native context menu.
