Menu: Clicking menuitem should activate its submenu, not close the menu

Description

Currently a click on a menuitem that has a submenu selects that menuitem, usually closing the entire menu. This doesn't make sense for an application menu. Instead it should open the submenu and move focus to the first item within that submenu.

Assuming we fix this in 1.11 and want to provide a way to get back to the old behaviour, Scott proposed this: role: null should allow choosing a parent and the default should not.

I don't think this is a bug. I know I added that functionality a long time ago to open submenu on click here https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/master/ui/jquery.ui.menu.js#L85-L87 and you can see it work properly here http://view.jqueryui.com/1.10.3/demos/menu/default.html

Am I misunderstanding the issue or should this be closed?

Not sure why I created this, since the commit was a year ago: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/commit/7e1cb95d379c95ec412dccf6bc1b4e75dd203951
