Originally created by @kkostrzewa-coupa on GitHub (Dec 3, 2025).

Windows Terminal version

1.24.2812.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Have a settings.json that uses folders with subitems

Use the V dropdown with the mouse to show the menu and navigate to the subitem.

Right click on it to show the "Run As Administrator" context menu. The original menu will disappear.

Expected Behavior

The menu will continue to show, just like it does when right clicking on a top level menu item

Actual Behavior

The entire menu disappears, so you lose context of what program you are executing "Run As Administrator" against

Wow, lucky find. This is apparently a bug in the Windows UI Framework we use (aptly named WinUI :P)

I'm marking it up as appropriate.
