They do not seem to close or dismiss the menu. They capture that fine for
Print Screen. My guess would be that they pass the event back to the
operating system and/or windowing manager. I do not know whether Qt or a Qt
application could easily do the same.

We have got a request for this in our application and it was expressed that
they would like similar behaviour. The timed solution was also considered
and was not deemed sufficient. So, at least, an opt-in solution would be
preferable.
