#552920 looks like a different (though related) issue. That was filed in 2010 and there's no mention of clicks changing the behavior, or of any recent regression.
Whatever the "tolerance" for diagonal movement is and was, a click on a submenu item used to make its sub-submenu "sticky" (or more "sticky" than without a click). That broke at some point with some update in 14.04 (not a major release upgrade) around the time I reported the bug (probably a bit earlier). That is, clicking stopped making any difference. It's good that #552920 has been finally fixed (especially considering the solution had already been invented in the mid eighties as pointed out in a comment), but the click-makes-the-submenu-really-sticky behavior that got lost a few months ago should be reintroduced too. I at least used to observe the desired behavior (and now observe its lack since I reported this bug) in right-click menus in Nautilus and the Desktop, that I can tell with absolute certainty. Is that GTK, Gnome, Nautilus or Unity?
