 - Menus: Fixed incorrect sub-menu parent association when opening a menu by closing another.
   Among other things, it would accidentally break part of the closing heuristic logic when moving
   towards a sub-menu. (#2517, #5614). [@rokups]
+- Menus: Fixed gaps in closing logic which would make child-menu erroneously close when crossing
+  the gap between a menu item inside a window and a child-menu in a secondary viewport. (#5614)
 - Nav: Fixed moving/resizing window with gamepad or keyboard when running at very high framerate.
 - Nav: Pressing Space/GamepadFaceDown on a repeating button uses the same repeating rate as a mouse hold.
 - Platform IME: [Windows] Removed call to ImmAssociateContextEx() leading to freeze on some setups.
