Comment (by axeld):

 Since it's basically a menu like a menu bar is one, the contextual menu
 argument doesn't really stand.

 The decision what makes more sense actually depends on the application. If
 it's a single window application (like most Windows apps), the behaviour
 as suggested by khallebal definitely makes sense. However, on Haiku, most
 applications are using multiple windows, and there, the current behaviour
 is actually what you would want to have in most cases, as bringing the
 application to foreground isn't really helping.

 Therefore, I think the current approach with the double click is a good
 compromise.
