My preference is to unbind mouse-2 on buttons, at least for
MS-Windows. This will make behavior on all platforms consistent, as
you would like. But Richard asked not to make such a change, so my
hands are tied.

Other menus already behave consistently, at least on Windows: you
cannot drop a menu with mouse-2, and you cannot select a menu item
with mouse-2.
