Comment 8 for bug 766776

I disagree with this “feature”, or at very least with its implementation. It means that when I accidentally click on the corner of the screen and realize that I didn’t want to open/close the menu, I have to wait half a second doing nothing before trying again. Even if I repeatedly click on the menu waiting for it to close/open again, it *never will*, as long as each click was within half a second of the previous one! That just makes the desktop feel unresponsive. (See bug 777492.)

This applies not just to clicks, but also to the keyboard shortcuts (Super and Alt+F2), which makes even less sense.

Frankly, is it really too much to ask the user to realize that when they try double-clicking on the menu button and see the menu briefly open and immediately close, they should try single-clicking instead?

The double-click suppression makes sense for launchers, but not for the main menu which is supposed to act as a toggle.
