I may be missing something colossal, but what is the particular reason, if any, for a menu to be disabled (for drilling down) after a link has been clicked? This behavior specifically causes drilling down of other menus under Administer impossible after one or more links have been opened (e.g. in new tabs/windows).

Then again, perhaps this works as designed, but I'd like to understand if this is designed as such to prevent another problem from occurring.

I'm looking at line 158 of jquery.drilldown.js.

I seemed to have encountered the problem it was supposed to fix. Drilldown seems to allow the link to click through to expand menu if the menu isn't disabled.

I have created a fix that re-enables the menu after the link has prevented the list item from clicking through.

Theoretically, this patch should also apply for 7.x-2.x-dev.
