Ionic Framework Version

v8.x

Current Behavior

After opening/closing contextmenu over an ion-segment-button in an Ionic Electron app running on a Mac, other segments appear activated by just hovering over them. These segments are not actually activated since the ion-segment value has not changed. This behavior can also be seen on the Ionic docs, https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/segment-button. Our Electron app uses Ionic V6, but same behavior happens on V8.

Expected Behavior

After opening/closing contextmenu the other segments should not appear to be activated when hovering over them. This behavior does not appear on Windows, only on Mac.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/segment-button
2. On the Basic Usage example right click the checked segment
3. Click off to remove the context menu
4. Hover mouse over other segments to see them appear activated
5. This can only be stopped by left clicking again

A couple notes here:

1. I was able to resolve this ion-segment-button behavior by issuing a mouseup MouseEvent after the context menu is closed.
2. The reported behavior appears not to happen on all Macs. I had it tested on 4 Macbook Pros and the behavior appears 3 of them, but not on the 4th.
