The OP of the bug did provide a fix once, so they may be motivated to again. The short cause of the problem is that the accelerator for the top level menus change while the menu is open, causing the menu to close (i.e. menuitem's text changes from File to &File). I have a small reproducer I will attach to the bug, but that only fails on Ubuntu 16.04 with global menu, so after the hours I have spent investigating and testing this I am done once I write it up.
