STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Open the context menu slightly too close of the right corner, then open a sub-menu.

Probably just a coincidence, but this also reminds me of the (supposedly) Firefox bug which if I middle-click/triple-press an Inline History link and don't move the pointer, I can't scroll up an down the page.

Not sure this is actually a bug rather than a feature, but regardless, the menu here is just a standard Qt QMenu, which means it's out of our hands. You'd need to report it to Qt.
