vscode: Mouse pointer does not move to submenu and submenu disappears.

When I try to use any submenus, either from the top menubar (e.g. File -> Open Recents) or right-click context (e.g. Right Click -> Open Changes), as soon as I move the mouse to the submenu, the pointer jumps to the top of the parent menu and, if I move too far to the right, the submenu just disappears. Hovering over the main menu trigger allows me to use keyboard arrows to operate the submenu, but I can’t use the mouse at all. I’ve tested on version 1.51 and 1.52 with the same problem.

  • VSCode Version: 1.52, 1.51
  • OS Version: CentOS 7.6

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open File Menu
  2. Highlight “Open Recent”
  3. Move mouse to highlight recent project

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Hi, I updated to the current stable version of vscode and I can select submenu now with Ubunut 20.04. In the elecron issue an other user reported it is fixed also in cromium: https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/1763#issuecomment-932860135

I also encountered the same problem, I’m using XRDP from windows 10 to connect to Ubuntu 20.04. My current temporary solution is hold [Shift] or [Alt] before moving to the sub-menu.
