[4.2.1] Dropdowns and right click menus auto close

[LemonadeFlashbang]

Tested versions

I tested the issue in Godot 4.1.3, 4.2 and 4.2.1. I haven't tested older versions of Godot 4. This issue does not occur in Godot 3.x (which is what I have been testing migrating from).

System information

Windows 10 - Godot 4.1.3, 4.2, 4.2.1 stable

Issue description

Drop down / right click menus are automatically closing. Here's a short gif of me playing around with Texture Rect settings. Sometimes the menus stay open for a couple seconds, sometimes they close immediately.

This issue does not occur in Godot 3.5, which I used for my most recent game.

Steps to reproduce

1. Right click on a scene
2. Wait

Alternatively

1. Create a Texture Rect
2. Click the Scale drop down
3. Wait

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

I was able to reproduce the issue on a brand new project without any code or assets, and I think uploading an empty project seems like kind of a waste of time.

I was able to reproduce the issue using pre-built versions available on the Godot website. The issue also exists in the Esoteric Software pre-builts with Spine baked in.

Updating to say I have discovered that this issue does not occur during single window mode.

Do you have any software installed that may interfere with tooltips somehow?

Restarted my computer and played around today.

With everything closed the issue persisted, but I force quit the pen app for a Huion tablet and the issue stopped. The Huion tablet is not plugged into my machine, this was just the software. My layperson hypothesis is whatever mechanism they're using to detect the pen is interfering with tooltips by causing Godot to think there's on-screen movement when there isn't.

Notably I have a Wacom tablet that is plugged in, and it's not causing issues.

The pen software is for the Kamvas 20, and they have downloads here. The issue may not be specific to this piece of software or manufacturer.

For the time being, I've uninstalled the Huion Tablet app from my own machine.

There are other cases of external software causing tootlips and the like to bug out.
