Thats not true. Text-only does not mean "no mouse". The command tmm-menubar-mouse can be invoked by clicking on on the menubar with the mouse. If mouse selection doesn't work right for a menu bar item that has no menu, then it's a bug. Fixing it should be much easier than adding a separate tool bar. Also, since it is a bug fix, it is ok to do it now. I still don't think that a tool bar would have any advantage over the menu bar, for a tty.
