Issue is reproducible in PySide6. Below is the source code for a demo app; it should be executed on macOS 13 Ventura or newer. Also included is an image file to use as the menu bar extra icon.
Again, this is a sporadic issue, so you may have to try it a few times to cause the issue to occur. Switching between windows from other open applications and then clicking the menu bar icon for my app may cause it to happen.
demo.py:
import sys
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication
from SamplePopupWnd import SamplePopupWnd
mainwnd = None
def main():
global mainwnd
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
app.setQuitOnLastWindowClosed(False)
mainwnd = SamplePopupWnd()
sys.exit(app.exec())
main()
