Since when did it change?

I cannot remember having changed anything there, but I'd prefer the  
current behaviour: With the exception of the initial click it's the same  
as in the main-menu. It's what you get when you configure menu=push for  
the main-menu too. Holding down the mouse-button while moving the mouse  
can be quite uncomfortable too. But maybe it's possible to have both - as  
windows does :)

That is right. I would place the first menu one or a half character to the  
left (in both menubars).

Ah, well ... ;-)
