OpenPopup does not work in MainMenuBar

[JJscott]

When writing MenuItems in the MainMenuBar, OpenPopup does not trigger the Popup to be open.

Minimum example where the Popup will not open:

	if (ImGui::BeginMainMenuBar())
	{
		if (ImGui::BeginMenu("Test Popup"))
		{
			if (ImGui::MenuItem("Open Popup"))
			{
				ImGui::OpenPopup("Some Popup");
			}
			ImGui::EndMenu();
		}
		ImGui::EndMainMenuBar();
	}

	if (ImGui::BeginPopup("Some Popup"))
	{
		ImGui::Text("Hello World");
		ImGui::EndPopup();
	}

Minimum example where the Popup will open:

	bool open_popup = false;
	if (ImGui::BeginMainMenuBar())
	{
		if (ImGui::BeginMenu("Test Popup"))
		{
			if (ImGui::MenuItem("Open Popup"))
			{
				open_popup = true;
			}
			ImGui::EndMenu();
		}
		ImGui::EndMainMenuBar();
	}

	if (open_popup ) ImGui::OpenPopup("Some Popup");

	if (ImGui::BeginPopup("Some Popup"))
	{
		ImGui::Text("Hello World");
		ImGui::EndPopup();
	}

The link is #331. Closed for duplicate.
Still working on figuring out a nice solution for this.
