You can't really say this is the behaviour of menus "in Linux" because
there are many desktop environments you can use in Linux, which may have
many different behaviours regarding menus. Vanilla Ubuntu uses GNOME,
where a context menu appears when you press the mouse button. If you
then release it, it remains, and you can make a selection by another
click. If you hold it down, you can move the cursor over an item and
then release to make a selection. A quick test shows that there's a
delay for activation of this "release to select" behaviour, so this
perceived "randomness" only happens if the click is _very_ slow and ends
up being interpreted as a hold instead of a click.
