wierd menuitem issue: whole menu closes once deeper than 2 menuitems

I'm trying to make a drop-down menu that goes deeper than 2 items, the problem being that the whole menu closes once i try to go further than two menuitems (counting in the initial parent one), the whole thing looks something like this

[Initial parent menuitem]
-test1
-test2 --- whole menu closes once i try to expand this one
-test3

this is what the xaml for the menu looks like, the seperator being so it can be opened and the submenuopened code runs;
<ui:MenuItem x:Name="StartMenuTab" SubmenuOpened="ListStartMenuItems" Header="Start Folder Apps" Icon="{ui:SymbolIcon AppsList20}">
    <Separator/>
</ui:MenuItem>


and this is the ListStartMenuItems method;

private void ListStartMenuItems(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    StartMenuTab.Items.Clear();

    string[] placeholderDirs = { "test","test","test","test" };
    foreach (var subdir in placeholderDirs)
    {
        var subFolderMenuItem = new MenuItem
        {
            Header = subdir,
            Icon = new SymbolIcon(SymbolRegular.Folder24),
        };

        var placeholder = new MenuItem
        {
            Header = "Placeholder",
        };
        subFolderMenuItem.Items.Add(placeholder);

        StartMenuTab.Items.Add(subFolderMenuItem);
    }
}


worth to mention that i'm using WPFUI by Lepco; https://wpfui.lepo.co/documentation/
