Actually, the code in w32menu.c is written to explicitly ignore clicks
on any button but mouse-1 as long as a menu is open. This was done to
solve a much more annoying bug on Windows, whereby, if you click
mouse-2 while browsing a menu, Emacs would yank killed text after the
menu pops down.

Done.
What Richard described for the other platforms is exactly the behavior I
requested when I filed this bug. It sounds to me like the fix for the more
annoying bug (which I also reported, I believe) was not the right fix.
Wouldn't the right fix have been to make mouse-2 select a menu item, just
like on GNU/Linux? That would take care of both bugs, and bring Windows into
line with the other platforms.
IOW, "Please leave things alone" ... "Done" sounds like a quick cop-out, to
me.
I can't speak to hard it might be to fix this properly, so that Windows will
DTRT, like GNU/Linux, but I can speak to what TRT would be for the user:
exactly what Richard described.
