Context menu shows permanent status messages

[DavidY]

I'm showing a context menu in the contextMenuEvent handler using

void Window::contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event){
 
	contextMenu->exec(event->globalPos());
 
}

void Window::contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event){

	contextMenu->exec(event->globalPos());

}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When the menu is shown, the status messages associated with the QActions are shown permanently. For example, if I hover over an action with a status message, then hover over one without, then the first message will persist and will not even be cleared when the menu is closed by clicking outside it. The status messages work fine when they're shown from a menu bar. How do I change the behaviour of the context menu to this?

Thanks

Sorry for bumping, but anyone?
