Bug Description

On any standard menu (contextual "right-click" menu, application menu, even unity panel's menus, now), if I hold the click that opened the menu, I can release it on the item I want to select.
In the launcher, a right-click "mouse down" will open the application's launcher menu, but releasing it ("mouse up") does absolutely nothing.

At the minimum, the launcher menu should not open on mouse down if it can't handle a mouse up. But ideally, it should select the hovered item on mouse up.
