If we allow that, we will get inconsistent behavior with other menus, such as the one that's dropped from the menu bar, because where mouse events are handled, we don't know what flavor of menu is being processed. Allowing mouse-2 on the menu bar is not a good idea, IMO, hence my preference above. So, you seem to be saying that we can't fix the value-menu bug without also letting mouse-2 do the same thing for the menu-bar. That would be fine - as I said, it would be good to fix both bugs in such a way that the behavior was the same. IOW, allowing mouse-2 to both open and choose from a menu-bar menu would be good, not bad, especially if that was also the behavior for the value menu. > To me, it's OK to not let mouse-2 do either: open or choose. > And it's OK to let mouse-2 do both: open and choose.

By "drop", do you mean open? If so, what is your reason? Please don't just state that the only possibility for that would be to return to the other bug I filed: mouse-2 mistakenly pasting when you tried to use it to choose a menu item. Is there a good reason that mouse-2 shouldn't both open and choose from a menu-bar menu?
