No, it does expand on the first click.

It will not expand on repeated clicks unless I move the mouse cursor
between clicks.  The delay does not matter (except if I click too fast I
see double-click events).

So I had a quick look, and the defun `custom-toggle-hide-variable' is
called on the first click.  The option then correctly expands.

But that function is not called on subsequent clicks.  After moving the
mouse cursor and clicking, it seems to register again and
`custom-toggle-hide-variable' is called.

This is what I used to test this:
