Mac OS X with gtk2.4 uses the first method.

This is probably in GTK2, but I don't know for sure.
- right click a packet in the packet list so the context menu appears
- change your mind and left click a toolbar button
Now, GUIs have seemed to have one of two ways of dealing with this.
1: The first left click merely dismisses the context menu, and is not
passed on to the toolbar button underneath. You are required to
click a second time to activate the button.
2: The first left click dismisses the menu *and* activates the button.
Ethereal takes a third method:
3: Left click dismisses context menu. All subsequent clicks fail to
activate button, *until* mouse is moved off-button and back on-button.
So
- right click a packet in the packet list so the context menu appears
- change your mind and left click a toolbar button, ie open file
context menu disappears
- left click open file, *without moving the mouse off the button*
still nothing
- left click
still nothing
etc
- move mouse to somewhere else
- move mouse to open file
- left click
open file dialog appears
This odd behaviour does *not* affect the menu bar, but does affect the
column headers in the packet list, and the display filter buttons at
the bottom.
