Mouse-clicks get absorbed on menu interactions

It seems that in the mozilla browser, whenever some form of menu is activated...
in unactivating it the mouse click is given soley to that function...
i.e. - if one was to click on the 'Open Windows' option on the blue bar below
the status bar, and then click on the 'File' menu item... the File menu does not
open... but the 'Open Windows' option does close.
I think if someone has chosen to click on a menu item, it is clear that they
wish to investigate that area... given the vast space available elsewhere that
they may have chosen to click on. Thus, it would be very nice if that when a
menu is active, any mouse-click outside of the menu is not only used to close
that menu, but also passed on to whatever may be lurking in the vicinity of the
mouse pointer - i.e. normal operations as if the menu were not even an issue.

I agree, but others don't. This issue has already been raised in bug 21390,
"Clicking on Widget or link does nothing if menu open". The problem is that
there are two possible types of consistency:
a) Clicking on a link or widget should aways work with one click regardless
of whether there is a menu open
b) Clicking outside a menu should always cancel the menu and do nothing more
regarless of whether that click would normally have activated something
-- and they obviously can't both be satisfied.
