It is traditional windows logic to use the buttonup event for actions.  
Go to any menu in any program and downclick only but don't release the 
mouse.  Nothing happens until you release the mouse.  If you change your 
mind about the action, you simply move away the mouse from the item and 
then release.

That's why the buttonup event is used-- so you can change your mind on 
misclicks.
