Button does not receive mouseUP after disabling then enabling button

[Paul Dupuis]

The issue you are seeing *MAY* be related to a bug I verified and
reported last week. See http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15710

Under LC6.7.x or 7.x under OSX version where the "Search" menu item is
inserted into Help menu, if you disable the button that is the Help menu
and then enable it, all the menu items remain disabled (greyed out in
the menu)

I say *MAY* only because it is specific to LC 6.7.x and above and only
on OSX and involves the disable and enabling of a button.
