Hi,

see the attached image.
Sometimes the menu in applications does not close.
It happens reliably from time to time with the "Addressbook" example and the "Menu" example.

However it seems to happen randomly and preferably directly after the Application was startet.

So it could be uninitialized memory somewhere in the GUI framework. Also it could be a race condition.
(These are just my uneducated guesses. I do not know what the reason is)

I found no way to reproduce it every time, the only way is to try it 10 to 20 times.

Run the "Menu" tutorial application. Click the menu, so it opens and move the mause pointer directly to the title bar of the window and move the window.
Try this 10 to 20 times. Then it happens. From time to time the menu does not close and stays on top, while the main window is moved.
This is the most reliable way to reproduce it, but it happens from time to time, when playing around with the application under unknown circumstances.
The menu does not close until a menu item is selected or another windows app is clicked.
(To make a screenshot, I pressed Ctrl-Print, to capture the whole screen)
