I believe that the problem is with AutoRaise. If you pop-up a menu
within 750 msec of setting the keyboard input focus to that window,
then the window auto-raises itself, and the pop-up menu disappears.

For now, just remove the line AutoRaise 750 from your .fvwmrc or
system.fvwmrc file.

The next release of fvwm will have this problem fixed.
