Bug Description

With global menu in top bar, click (without unclicking) a menu and drag down to choose a menu item.
Now enable locally integrated menus and maximise an application then do the same.

I've observed the behaviour is inconsistent.

With global menu: Menu opens
With LIM: Window detaches from being maximised.

This makes it slower using LIM as you can't click and drag down to open a menu, you have to click/release then slide down and click again.

It's very distracting to lose menu click and drag -- moving the window should only be possible by clicking empty areas of the title bar.
