I've always been frustrated by the fact that a slightly off target click (the space between menu items) on a menu will dismiss the entire menu. I must confess I prefer the way Windows behaves (it just ignores the click). Does anyone know if there's a way to change this behavior on the Mac?

Hmm you're right, clicking on a menu separator closes the menu. I've never noticed it before but can see how it might be annoying. Unfortunately I don't think it would be possible to change this behaviour without delving deep into the low level menu handling code, which of course only Apple has access to.

Hmm, that is odd, yet I did a quick test, and that's how it works in Mac OS 9, too (and so, probably, how it's worked since forever). I guess I never click off-target!
