      Bug summary

      When running a Qt App with the `QT_QPA_PLATFORM` environment variable set to `xcb` QMenus sometimes get closed "instantly" after showing. This results in context menus being unusable in the application.

      Steps to reproduce

      This can be seen in Mixxx: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/issues/11576
      Alternatively it's also trivially reproduced in a demo application (see demo.zip )

      Right-clicking the "rightclick me" label will only flash the qmenu since its being hidden so shortly afterwards again (can be seen by setting a breakpoint in `QMenu::hideEvent`).
      A similar issue can be seen when using the Menubar QMenu, sometimes staying closed after a click.

      What happened

      The Menu randomly doesn't not show up. As debugging reveals, because its hidden shortly after spawning it.

      What did you expect to happen

      The menu should've shown up on every click.

      Relevant logs, screenshots, screencasts etc.

      The xcb recording shows the faulty behavior while the wayland recording shows the correct one.
