I assume you mean when right-clicking. The same issue affects me as
well. Basically, the menu is being placed at a slightly inconvenient
spot, where your mouse cursor is already over one of the menu items.
I've come across the issue in places other than the validator
extension, such as the download status bar extension, which suggests
that it may be beyond the scope of what the extension author can fix.
The only solution I have is to remember to keep the mouse button held
down until you select something.
