Thanks for reporting this problem, and the clear reproduction steps.

This is an interesting bug in the Cygwin X server's multiwindow mode. It 
seems that under some circumstances, when removing a WM_TRANSIENT_FOR 
window which in turn had a child WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window (e.g. a menu 
which has a sub-menu), the X server's integrated WM would get confused 
and think that the main window had been closed (so terminating the 
application).

I've has a go at fixing this and uploaded a snapshot at [1].  Perhaps 
you could try that and see if it improves things for you?

(I guessed you are using 64-bit Cygwin. If you need a 32-bit build 
instead, please let me know and I'll generate one)
