Bug Description

Steps:

- Launch kate
- Right-click on its main, text editor, area. A pop-up menu should show up.
- Hover your mouse pointer over the "Bookmarks" menu item. A sub menu with "Set Bookmark" and "Clear All Bookmarks" options will show up.

Expected outcome:
The sub menu opens immediately and the mouse pointer is responsive throughout

Actual outcome:
unity8 freezes for a bit, with mouse pointer becoming unresponsive, before finally resuming and showing up the submenu.

Switching between tabs in kate also causes unity8 to freeze momentarily.

Doing "sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platformthemes/libubuntuappmenu.so" and commenting out menu code in DecoratedWindow.qml fixes those freezes
