Description

When you display the menu tray, it appears for a moment and then disappears. But sometimes it does not. And then it crashes after a few times.

But if I show the main menu (CopyQ toggle), it works every time and the bug doesn't happen at all - and it never crashes.

See the video for more info.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Reproduce the crash on macOS by repeatedly clicking the tray menu. Use Xcode or lldb to get a stack trace. Investigate the menu creation and event handling code in CopyQ's source, particularly around QSystemTrayIcon and menu show/hide methods. Look for differences when showing main menu vs tray menu.
