Comment (by jamesbonham):

 This does work fine, but it does have some side effects which should be
 considered.

 1. For mouse users, the top level in the dropdown now behaves as if it is
 clickable, going blue on hover.
 2. For mouse users, if you click the top level item, nothing happens as
 far as the user is concerned, but the color stays blue even if you move
 the mouse away (because it is active).

 So my thought on this is that focus and hover styles should deviate here,
 with mouse hover styles behaving much like they do without this patch, but
 still retaining the blue focus style, so you know where you are when
 navigating by keyboard.
