> I'll need to test this patch but it may indeed be better behavior. The
patch certainly looks fairly simple. I'll try to apply this tomorrow and
test it out.
Good. Thanks.

and-hold paradigm. I'm also still not convinced by your comment in #7022.
Not sure what you mean here. Do you mean click ''vs'' hold? I thought
that in the discussion with Ingo and Stippi that it was decided that a
click should alway lock a menu open, but if you hold the mouse down for
longer you should ''not'' need a second click. (Originally I thought that
a click should also close the menu without selecting anything, but I came
to decide the above response was more appropriate.)
The reason 7022 worked for you but not me is that it assumes the click
point is exactly the menu-top-left point, which is deliberately not the
case in my menus.
> I specifically tested opening the menu in a corner and purposely wanted
the menu to stay open in that case and require another click to select or
close.
That's what this patch does. If your click brings up the menu under the
cursor it will stay open with no selection. A longer press lets you see
the situation and you can decide whether to select or not, ''without''
needing a second click. I understood this was the majority preference!
