Yes, it's consistent behaviour. The idea about application causing
it came probably because it happened at the time I tweaked panel and
added Acroread launcher. Thanks for explaining.
You kindly answered my question, mind you another one?
The first question I had in this list was about panel menu(s)
behaviour. It takes several mouse clicks (press/release) events to
launch an item from a menu. I'm interested doing it with less
clicks:
1) point to menu handle
2) click to menu handle to open menu and hold the button
3) point to menu item to be launched
4) release button, the item will be launched and menu closed

Is it configuration thing or can it be done some other way?

Thanks
