Correction: it doesn't happen with the pager, but it's not just the menus - it also happens on a move or resize of normal windows. A click-and-hold will set it off even before movement, but it also continues during movement. I don't notice it when moving windows with my keybindings, but those don't really 'grab'. Resizing with my keybindings acts like resizing or moving with the mouse. As I say, no hold (in the mouse sense) is needed for it to do this with menu - that just starts revving the cpu as soon as its popped up and stays that way as long as it's left up.
