Title:
  Click-and-holding AppMenu buttons is inconsistent

Status in Elementary Widgets:
  Confirmed
Status in elementary OS:
  Invalid
Status in Granite Framework:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The AppMenu button in certain apps does not behave as expected. For
  example, click-and-holding the AppMenu button in Midori, Postler,
  Dexter, or Purple accomplishes nothing; the menu shows up after
  "unclicking" the button.

  The expected behavior is exhibited by click-and-holding the AppMenu
  button in Nautilus-elementary, which then shows a dropdown menu and
  allows the user to mouse to an item, then unclick, choosing the item.
  This is also how the menu in Chromium works, as well as various other
  buttons in AbiWord and Gnumeric. The menubars (in apps that have them)
  work this way, as do menu items (main menus, indicators) on GNOME
  Panel and WingPanel. This is also similar to right-clicking where one
  can right-click-and-hold, mouse to the item, and unclick on the item
  they choose.
