The tool bar icon gets deselected. However, it does _not_ become selected 
again if you move the mouse over it (as it normally does). If the menu is 
delayed the selection state becomes toggled or deselected everytime you 
activate the main action by short clicking on the tool bar icon.

In this sense it is either an other bug or the bug was only half fixed.

The effect is in every popup menu in a tool bar (regardless whether the icon 
is delayed or not). You can find a delayed pop up menu with submenus in the 
phrase book edit window of KMouth.

In the meantime I did some additional testing. In KDE 3.1 the effect does show 
up if you click long enough for the pop up to show but short enough to have 
the mouse key released before the popup is on the screen. This can either 
happen with some trying on delayed popup menus or with very short mouse 
clicks on non-delayed popup menus.

So to speak it seems to be a race condition which is additionally guaranteed 
to go wrong when doing a one-click selection in submenus.

I do not know whether this effect is still in HEAD --- the popup is drawn too 
quickly for my tests ;-)
