Window menu remains on screen permanently until an option is chosen whenever it appears while there is high cpu or memory usage

[Seija K.]

Whenever my PC is stuttering and I try to right click on Visual Studio Code to force quit the app, as it was causing the spike in usage, the gnome sidebar right-click menu appears. However, it remains until an option is chosen. When the PC is not stuttering and this menu appears, I am able to close the menu by clicking outside of it, which is the expected behavior.

Judging by your ShellJournal.txt this sounds like a side-effect of bug 1880405. So let's get that fixed first. Then if this bug still occurs we can separate and reopen it.
