If you right-click near a misspelled word but not on text (this also applies to footnote numbers, which I think is a mistake, but that's a different issue), say on the space just before a flagged word, or in the margin space before a misspelled word that starts a new line, then the dictionary context menu that pops up only stays visible as long as the mouse button is held down. The behavior if you actually right-click on the misspelled word is that the menu stays open on its own until dismissed.
