Description
- Pick up a block
- Move block over an adjacent block
- The adjacent block's menu will now appear
- The original block's menu will disappear
- As you continue to drag the original block around, the adjacent block's menu will remain visible
Possible hacky fix: prevent menus from appearing during the drag-and-drop phase. 'Lock in' the current menu as being visible.
Update
This is a known bug in Chrome to be fixed in v40. And based on Safari's behavior it seems to be a webkit bug.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed drag-and-drop sequence in Chrome and Safari/WebKit, focusing on when adjacent block menus appear and remain visible. Read the drag-and-drop and menu behavior at the relevant frontend entry points, if they can be located from the issue. Done means the behavior is confirmed as still reproducible and menus no longer switch or remain incorrectly during dragging.
