I believe this is a WoW bug, specifally this one: Stanzilla/WoWUIBugs#4
There is as far as I can tell nothing we can do about it.

In the chat window you can see the message "Interface action because of an Addon". That message means there was a taint problem.

See https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Secure_Execution_and_Tainting for a explanation of taint.

Spefically this is from the taint log:

2/17 23:20:09.759 Global variable UIDROPDOWNMENU_MENU_LEVEL tainted by WeakAurasOptions - Interface\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:40

And later:
