In effect, menus *are* modal windows. It may not be easy to avoid this, as some of that behaviour is platform specific - some host platforms just do that, others don't, so you may find the behaviour of your app varies across paltforms. There's not an awful lot we can do about that, either, I suspect. It is a problem.
