It's my perception that the mouse-triggered actions behave

This suggests that "Immediate" commands are executed on mouse-down,

I've noticed that Immediate commands are only exceuted after release or
I press and move the pointer a bit. This is certainly not "Immediate" -
and there is a definite need for commands to be executed on mousedown.
In fact, for all mouse-bindings, actions are excuted on
click-and-release instead of mousedown. Key binding actions are executed
on mouse-down.
And also - there is this entry in the FvwmButtons manpage:
[...]
This suggests that popup actions are executed on mousedown. This is not
the case with buttons. They behave like "Immediate" commands - executing
only on mousedown+movement or mousedown+release.
If I add ActionOnPress, actions behave like "Immediate" commands again -
that is - not immediately!
Incidentally, popup menus only behave correctly in keybindings and
mousebindings on the Root Desktop.
This is strange, I can't reproduce any of these 2 problems, just tested.
Please create and post here a minimal fvwmrc file that has one function,
one problematic binding and a minimal FvwmButtons configuration opening
MenuFvwmRoot (this menu is globally defined).
Please always specify your fvwm version.
Regards,
Mikhael.

fvwm-2.5.10-r6 is what I'm using.
This is an example of what doesn't work:
*module-buttons-applist: (1x1, Icon MiniIcon, ActionOnPress, Action
(Mouse 1) WindowList NoGeometry NoDeskNum MaxLabelWidth 50 NoIcons)
The plot thickens: When any modifier is pressed, including NumLock,
everything functions exactly as the manual says.
