Hi,
I just found a (very) minor bug (I don't even know if it's a bug!)
In the right-click context menu if you clicked on the line break between options the menu will disappear.

    Generally, most users would expect context menus to disappear when one clicks on something other than the menu; but apparently, the dividers in this case are mistakenly being treated as "other" when left-clicked on. (In my tests, nothing happens when right-clicking this area.)

    Because this is contrary to established interface conventions, I would have to say that yes, this is a bug, but as you say, it's a very minor one - and probably not a KeePass bug so much as a shortcoming in the programming tools Dominik uses to build KeePass. I wouldn't be surprised if Dominik told us that working around this shortcoming would be more trouble than it's worth.

      My bad I should have said "left-clicked" instead of "clicked"

    I tested this on version 2.46 on Windows 10 and achieved the issue as described above. It seems to work on both entries context menu and the group context menu. Clicking on any of the horizontal lines results in the window closing. Doing this same thing on my Windows desktop does not produce this result and the menu stays open.

      I have version 2.46, too, but I'm running Windows 7. The problem is still there; clicking a separator in any menu closes it.
