Comment:

 I'm afraid this patch doesn't really work for me.  I typically use a menu
 (top-left) point slightly displaced from the mouse-down point (which
 avoids the random highlighting of an item that occurs otherwise).  This
 means that if the cursor ''does'' happen to be over the menu on a click
 (at the edge of the screen, for instance) the (forced) clickToOpenRect is
 not at the cursor, and I get a selection!  And I resent the
 alwaysOpenAnyway forcing me to make a second click to close the menu if
 there's no selection.

 Please see #7165 for (IMO) a better patch that works for all situations.
