Currently, if a user clicks on a context menu item that has sub-items, e.g. the "New >" item in the Navigator's context menu, the context menu is closed. This is not how most context menus work. Instead of closing the menu, this click should simply be ignored.

Pushed to master:

- Clicking on a dropdown menu item with sub-items will now only trigger the sub-menu to open. This essentially results in a no-op on browsers which support mouseover events because the sub-menu will already open as soon as the user places the cursor over the parent item. And, it also allows the user to explicitly open sub-menus on touch based interfaces.
