It looks like this is going to split in two different subjects so I will cover first the one in regards of the menu:
The context menu event bubbles up to the main window by default.

The only way I've found to get it working is implementing a custom title bar for the *QDockWidget* and trigger the menu on that new widget instead. The problem with that, is that I will have to manually implement functionality that was already working in the default title bar (close option and visual style). Here is an example: - https://gist.github.com/davidmartinezanim/6fdf415c25de5fdfc8bc So here is my question: - Is there a way to get it to trigger the menu on the default title bar instead of having to implement my own? I'm learning a lot with your responses.
