When I right-click in the code editor, the position of the context menu puts one of the menu selections under my mouse pointer, so when I release the click, the menu option that happened to be at the location of the mouse pointer is selected.
I've used a device input logger to make sure I am not moving the mouse between press and release.
I've compared the behavior with other applications on the same computer, and the problem doesn't happen.
In a good design, any clickable item in the menu would be at least a few pixels away from where the mouse pointer is, so that the mouse pointer is not over one of the menu options.
To reproduce:
right click in editor to open context menu
Expected:
context menu is open
Actual:
context menu is closed and an arbitrary option in the menu has been activated
