This is not a glitch, this is intended behavior when your text
terminal has a mouse.  Clicking anywhere inside "Edit" will drop down
the "Edit" menu starting at the click position.

Can you drop the menu with F10, try navigating through menus with
arrow keys, both horizontal and vertical, and report whether you see
any problems?  If you see any problems, I'd appreciate screenshots
showing them.

Whatever the results, I'd like you know what are your OS and terminal
emulator, please.

Thanks.
