[Bug 1658550] Re: erratic behavior with touch on submenus in qt related apps

 

** Description changed:

+ Short video clip of bug here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAJo-

+ 
  If I tap the touch screen on a menu item that brings up a submenu in qt
  related apps, the submenu will appear for about one second, and then
  disappear.  However, if instead of tapping and releasing on the menu
  item, I tap on the menu item and move in any other direction just a tiny
  bit, and then release, the submenu will appear and stay like normal
  behavior.
  
  Below are specific examples and the pattern seems to be with qt related apps:
  QtCreator - Tap on the Tools menu.  Then tap on the Git menu.  The submenu will appear, and then disappear after 1 second.  If instead of tapping on the Git menu, you tap and drag a few pixels to the right, the submenu will appear and stay.
  Dolphin file manager - Tap on "Control".  Then tap on "View Mode".  The submenu will appear, and then disappear after 1 second.  If instead of tapping on "View Mode", you tap and drag a few pixels to the right, the submenu will appear and stay.
  Kate text editor - Tap on the "Tools" menu.  Then tap on "Mode".  The submenu will appear, and then disappear after 1 second.  If instead of tapping on "Mode", you tap and drag a few pixels to the right, the submenu will appear and stay.
  
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
  Release:	16.04
  
  Expected Behavior:  The submenu should stay until I make a selection or
  cancel.
  
  What happened:  The submenu appears only for 1 second and disappears.
  However, if I "trick it" by tapping and dragging on the menu item, the
  submenu will stay as normal.
