When opening a context menu (via the little triangles in the friends list or a chat window) and hovering the mouse over its entries the menu closes unexpectedly as soon as you hover from an expandable entry (e.g. "Invite to group") to a non-expandable one.
Moving the mouse pointer to any item inside the opening submenu works fine. So does moving from on expandable entry to another expandable one.

As a workaround you can skip expandable entries by moving the mouse past them outside the context menu's area.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open friends list
  • Open context menu for a friend via the triangle
  • Hover over an expandable context menu entry like "Invite to group"
  • Hover to a non-expandable context menu entry that isn't inside the submenu
