I'm pretty sure this is in the dictionary somewhere. On OS X, a 
mousedown is never sent to a menu button, only to the menu group. It's 
been that way forever and has something to do with what the engine needs 
to do to create a system menu (where there aren't really any "buttons" 
per se.)

Move your mousedown handler into the menu group, do all menu changes in 
there, and it will work.
