I played a little with test/menubar[.cxx], and I think that I can see what you mean. Whenever you release the mouse button, the menu closes. This is independent of whether you (a) click on the top level menu and drag the mouse (holding the button) or (b) click/release on the top level menu and drag the mouse w/o holding a button. "Native" windows menus (tested with explorer, firefox, and the "Start" menu under XP) don't close if you release the mouse button over a submenu entry (that is not a leaf of the menu tree). Is this what you mean? If yes, then the requested change would be: don't close (dismiss) the menu if the mouse button is released over a menu item that is not a leaf of the menu tree (i.e. that has (or is) a submenu). To Ian: I see the described behaviour on Windows, so I don't think that this is a WM problem or such.
