    Hi,

    Is there any way to easily hide/close the context menu when mouse button is clicked anywhere else?

      At least on the Mac the menu hides automatically when clicking outside. I would say this holds true for Windows and Linux too, but I would have to check this to be 100% sure.

        It does not do that on Windows 7 or Xp. At least on my two laptops:)

          Just checked, and I can confirm this. The menu hides on clicking into a window of its parent application, but it does not hide on clicking into another window or on the desktop.

          I would consider this a bug. Do you mind opening a new issue on the "public bugtracker":https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com and reporting back the issue id here?

            It does on XP and Windows 7. We are talking about the context menu, right? Opens up if you right-click?

            Edit: Have to test the case Volker mentioned.

                Its the context menu, which open up correctly on right click. It works as it should except the case I described above.
