Thunderbird 155_Linux_context menu doesn't close if click another part of window

Thunderbird Crashing and slow performance

Noticed in LM, the last couple Tbird versions, the context menu doesn't close, when click anywhere on active window, away from the context menu. Happens if R click a message in thread pane, or pretty much anywhere else that R clicking opens a menu.

  • Only* hitting Esc key closes it.

Could be a profile issue? (but isn't due to theme used in Tbird - tested several, incl. native w/ Tb package).

Normally, opening a context menu, then L clicking anywhere inside the active window, closes the context menu (how it works in Firefox).

Also, opening a context in Tbird (if don't close it), switch to another app, the Tbird context menu shows on top that app.
