Note that this is probably true for any consistent GUI, by semantics
of cascade buttons.  When you select a cascade parent (with select
button), its semantics are to display the cascade, namely the pull
down.

This is different of calling a menu about an object.  The semantics of
pressing the menu button on a menu bar would be to call a menu on the
menubar, for example a menu to change the colors/fonts in the menu bar.

This is not mwm default behavior. You or someone else has "customized"
the button bindings to implement this behavior...
