Mouse-1 also works but with some complications. > I don't think we should make anything that fails to activate > with Mouse-2. Even though, if a user clicks mouse-2 on a button to open the value menu, she will then need to use only mouse-1 to select items from that menu? That doesn't seem a good UI to me. My bug report was precisely to eliminate that inconsistency and annoyance. But, as I stated, I would prefer that consistency be achieved by upgrading, not downgrading: mouse-2 should both open the value menu and let you choose an item from it.
