Here are couple ideas I've had... Not sure at all they will work tho ;)

1) Try to catch the Event by using the QMenu's method aboutToHide(); Maybe you can "Cancel" the hide process ?

2) Maybe you could consider using an EventFilter ?

Try to have a look at : http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/qobject.html#installEventFilter

Hope this helps a bit !
