Just what one more clarification in this...
Then only why keyboard is allowed, why not mouse event. I'm not able to click
the menus with mouse.

Please do not reopen bugs, unless you have a *very good* reason, which you haven't.

I don't know why the keyboard/mouse behaviour is like it is, because I don't
know that code really well. File a bug about this and see what happens.
