When you open a submenu very close to edge of the screen, so that there's no space to display the submenu, wmaker will move all the menus to allow the submenu to be shown.(given the correct settings)
When your cursor moves out of the set of menus, or if you are drag clicking and release on a submenu entry rather than a "run this program" entry, then wmaker will snap your menus into their original positions, often putting some submenus out of screen.
Is your problem similar to this?? Or you mean to say that the menus really close?

Have you tried not dragging? Right click once, on the titlebar, do not hold. Then move to the item you want, and click again.
