Description Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2006-02-10 13:58:33 UTC 
When clicking outside of the popped up window the button is not closing when the button is pressed, instead it's closed when it's released.
This behavior is fine when clicking *inside* the window, but for clicks outside it should be on pressed.

This is how combobox entries behaves in both qt and win32.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2007-01-01 21:48:48 UTC 
well, menus behave the same way...
Comment 2 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2007-01-01 22:27:24 UTC 
I guess menus should be changed aswell then.
Comment 3 Daniel Boles 2017-08-15 14:55:14 UTC 
It seems this is a more general inconsistency, though possibly with reasoning behind it all. On a quick tour through the widget-factory:

things that react on release:
 * menu close (incl combobox)
 * buttons
 * switches
 * stackswitcher

things that react on press:
 * combobox menu open
 * notebook tabs
 * spinbutton buttons
 * calendar
 * entry
