The issue you describe doesn't happen on xubuntu with the indicator, trying nmapplet as an example the menu opens on top of the panel and not at the cursor location, also relaxing the click doesn't close it nor trigger the action. The placement and rendering of the menu would rather be an issue with the applet or desktop environment and not one of the library. The priority is low for Ubuntu since there is no report of such problems on Ubuntu despite indicator being enabled in the default desktop environments for almost a decade

Some are network-manager-applet, blueman-tray and electron (affecting all electron apps). The latter 2 automatically use libappindicator if it's available in the system. For most applications, with libappindicator the tray icon behavior is broken (at least on archlinux with xfce4 and libappindicator-gtk3): * left mouse button triggers the context menu rather than the left-mouse-button action * the context menu is located beneath the mouse button, so when the mouse is released, the action is performed (in most cases "exit application"). Since the web is full of issue reports about this, I'm, pretty sure it's an issue in libappindicator itself than in every single application that uses it. IMO this is a critical issue, especially for a library that provides tray support to applications. Kind regards, Michael.
