Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Go to a page that allows the right-click context menu (e.g. Store page)
  2. Spam right-click in different areas

This video shows the menu work for a few seconds, then black boxes start appearing. The entire steam client will then freeze until it restarts after 10-20 seconds.

I tried the latest beta and it seems to be better now. Although I noticed that when the menu closes, 2 windows are created/destroyed almost instantly:
