Yes, it is, and it's deliberate: as long as the menu is active, the Windows version ignores the middle and the right mouse clicks; you must use the left button only to select menu items. This behavior was introduced by this change: 2006-03-11 Eli Zaretskii * w32fns.c (w32_wnd_proc): Ignore middle and extra button events if a menu is already active (the menubar_active flag is on). The reason was a much more annoying problem reported by Drew in this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2006-03/msg00024.html Drew, I don't see any particular problem in asking Windows users to click the left button, even if they are in a menu dropped by the right button. Do you? (FWIW, I never select with the right button, even in other GUI applications.)
