A collegue observed that in "most systems," actions are launched via releasing a mouse button, not pressing it. In particular, if one presses on a menu choice, then moves the mouse away before releasing the mouse button, the choice is effectively cancelled.
Using fltk, this is also true, except for items on Fl_Menu_Bar that have no submenus. The docs say: "If there is an item in the top menu that is not a title of a submenu, then it acts like a "button" in the menubar. Clicking on it will pick it." That's sort of true and sort of not. Clicking on it will pick it, but, unlike a button, moving away before releasing will also pick it. Whether or not my guy is right about the "most systems" part, I wonder it there's a way to tweak the Menu_Bar widget so that it acts as described.
