[Elements] Action strip menu closes on hover when moving from row to menu

[IMinchev64]

Description

In Elements, when action strip is configured with menu items (as-menu-items="true"), moving the cursor from the row to the opened menu causes the action strip to hide, which immediately closes the menu.

• igniteui-angular version: any
• browser: any

Steps to reproduce

1. In index.html, set the first grid action strip to menu mode (e.g., as-menu-items="true" on pinning/editing actions).
2. Run the elements sample. (npm run start:elements)
3. Hover a grid row so the action strip appears.
4. Click the action strip menu (three‑dots) to open it.
5. Move the mouse from the row to the menu panel.

Result

The action strip hides as soon as the mouse leaves the row, which closes the menu before you can interact with it.

Expected result

The action strip should stay visible (or the menu should stay open) while the cursor is over the menu, allowing the user to select menu items.
