Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) popup menus - from autofilter dropdowns, right-click menus, and ribbon menu dropdowns - would disappear quickly - often in 1-4 seconds, too quickly to make a selection.
Before any change to the document, the popup menus would work fine. But, after the first unsaved change, the problem would appear.
After hours of exhaustive testing, I have conclusively isolated the problem to the Dropbox desktop client. When Dropbox desktop client is running, the problem is present; when it is not, the problem is gone. Pause syncing is not enough to clear the problem; I must quit the desktop client.
I suspect the auto-update to version 32.4.23, which was installed on my computer on Thursday, August 10, 2017, and that's when I started having the problem.
I noticed an old post from 2016-03-02, describing the same problem:
