I think I found a temporary workaround, although it does involve deactivating two-finger taps on your TouchPad.
1) For HP Envy laptops, downgrade to device driver 13.3.31.31 dated 2017-08-16 as found on the HP supports and downloads site. Make sure you enter your laptop serial number or let the HP software scan your computer to ensure you're directed to drivers which are correct for your model.
2) Turn off two finger taps.
Turning off two finger taps means you lose that functionality across all of the apps, but for me, it has resolved the issue with the alternate menu constantly popping-up.

I've been able to resolve the issue and I thought this information would assist you. I stopped it in Edge Dev by rolling back the Synpatics TouchPad drivers to version 19.3.31.31 (found on the HP Support Website) and disabling two-finger tapping, which normally brings up the alternate menu. Today, Windows Update updated the driver to version 19.5.10.75. When the driver updated, the problem returned to Edge Dev. I was able to fix it again by rolling back the driver through the Properties tab of the Device Manager for the TouchPad. There is clearly some issue in version 19.5.10.75 which is causing this problem, but causing it only in Edge Dev/Beta/Canary but not in any other browser or app.
