It's because we actively want to support the possibility of doing press-button move-to-menu-entry release-button in addition to click-button move-to-menu-entry click-button AFAIK, allowing both behaviors is standard in 99% of the toolkits nowadays. I take that as an endorsement of guideline #3, with an amendment to the rationale. What about other people? What about other guidelines? What about documenting this for users? - Drew
