Bug Description

[ Description ]

Pressing Alt+Space and keeping it pressed causes a window to be minimized

[ Test case ]

1. Press Alt+Space and keep it pressed
2. The menu should stay open without any action being performed automatically

[ Regression potential ]

Key-actions happening with popups open when keybindings use modifiers might be broken afterwards. No case that I know.

---

To reproduce:

Open a couple of windows
Press Alt+Space and keep it pressed

Expected results:

The window menu opens and nothing else happens

Current behavior:

The window menu opens
The window is minimized
The window menu of the following window is open
The window is minized
