Description
Describe the bug
In MU3, menus can be "clicked-and-dragged" to select an item in one fluid movement; this behaviour is standard in practically all software. This is currently not possible in MU4.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Attempt to "click-and-drag" to select a menu item in either the toolbar or right-click menu.
- Observe that the menu does not open until the mouse is released - or in the case of the context bar, you can't select an item.
Screenshots
Desktop (please complete the following information):
Linux 5.10.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.70-1 (2021-09-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux- Reproduced in the latest nightly build.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the latest nightly build on Linux, using both the toolbar and right-click menu, and compare the context bar behavior described in the report. The work is done when a click-drag opens the menu and selects an item in one fluid movement, rather than waiting for mouse release.
