No you did not miss the point, that is exactly what I have been 
discussing. Though I don't believe it is natural or good.

I only see this behavior in Firefox,Thunderbird and Libreoffice. To get 
a menu to drop down I must click and release the mouse button very 
rapidly. If I don't the pointer changes into a hand and even though I am 
over a menu I can drag the window around the screen.  I don't think this 
is proper behavior. I would think over a menu the action would be to 
drop down the menu and nothing else. If I open the terminal, gedit the 
software center and others they do not act that way.  On them I can hold 
the button down indefinitely and it remains a pointer and I cannot drag 
the window.
