"Rougue" click outside context menu gives segmentation fault

[fingal_ohlson]

Here is an error where the program crashes when the user clicks outside the context menu after an item is selected, but before the choice is acknowledged.

Environment: Macos 13.6.1 (Ventura)

To reproduce:

1. Start GUI example 18 in the Copperspice Journal from a terminal.
2. A window with different types of text edit boxes appears.
3. Select some text in the topmost box.
4. Right-click on selection to get context menu.
5. Chose copy
6. Immediately, left-click outside the context menu.

Observed bevaviour:

1. The program crashes.
2. The terminal displays the following:
   1. QObject::connect() QTextControl::paste(): Unable to connect to a slot with a default parameter
   2. QNSView mouseDragged: Internal mouse button tracking invalid (missing Qt::LeftButton)
   3. Segmentation fault: 11

Expected behaviour:
The user would not be given enough time to make a "rougue" click outside the menu. In the event it can happen, it should be handled gracefully.

Other:
It seems you only need a context menu with with at least one menu item that can be chosen. So, not selecting text and choosing any available item from the menu results in the same behaviour.
