Regression in parented PopupMenu mouse behaviour in JUCE 8.0.4

Since updating from 8.0.3 to 8.0.4 juce::PopupMenu is broken in some cases when using a menu inside a parent component using withParentComponent(). I like to make juce::Buttons that trigger menus on mouseDown (using setTriggeredOnMouseDown() and allow the user to make a selection with one gesture on the next mouseUp.
