Btw, something's changed in this regard since Emacs 27.2.  In Emacs
27, mouse-1 and mouse-3 on the mode-line's major and minor mode names
pop up a menu that stays displayed when I release the mouse button.
In Emacs 28, these two menus pop down when the button is released.  By
contrast, C-mouse-3 in *scratch* pops up a menu that doesn't pop down
when I release the button even in Emacs 28.

I guess this has something to do with the bindings of down-mouse-N vs
mouse-N, and the fact that Emacs ignores the down- events when they
are not bound?
