IIRC a MenuDetect event doesn't distinguish keyboard
from mouse origination, yet gives you mouse coords which
may be over the wrong widget :-/ for which I can find
no workaround.
I know, I know, I should go find the bug and vote for it,
but since you were quite rightly recommending MenuDetect,
I thought you might be susceptible to being reminded that
it ain't all there yet :-)

Over the wrong widget? The x and y coordinates are in screen coordinates.
Is that the problem?

This seems like a bug in GTK (I assume you are using GTK). It's another
good reason not to fight the operating system. Please enter a problem
report with a stand alone snippet that shows the problem. Thanks.
