In 8.4.10, a change was introduced in menu.tcl, which
made Unix popup menus stay open when the mouse button
was released over a non-active item or the menu border.
This is a feature change that breaks the previous Unix
popup menu behaviour. Refer to menu.n which states:
"When a button is released over a menu, the active
entry (if any) is invoked.
The menu also unposts unless it is a torn-off menu."
Rather, the previous behaviour should be retained.

Is this something to
be addressed for Tk 8.4.12 ?

Current behavior is more in line with platform conventions. Won't fix.

This is not what we nor our users (Maastricht UAC provides the European ATC Backbone, and our Fallback Controller Working Position is Tcl/Tk from ground up) expect. But OK, we can probably work around it the ugly way by redefining stuff of menu.tcl. I suggest nevertheless to update the documentation accordingly.
