Mousedown in Application Menubar Messages

I've not experienced any problems with the menubar group receiving a 
mouseDown message to adjust the menus based on context before they 
appear (LC versions up to 9.6.11 on macOS and Windows)

A long time back, I did have an unnecessary  'wait 0 with messages' in 
my mouseDown handler and had instances where other messages fired before 
my mouseDown handler was done (or so it seemed).
