There are examples in the workbench where drop down toolitems are used as menus only. See the console view and the synchronize view. However, when the button is pressed for these actions nothing happens. Instead it should display the drop down menu. There are examples in other applications (e.g. see internet explorer) with two different types of drop down buttons. The 'back' button has both an action and a drop down menu whereas the mail button is simply a drop down. One way to solve this, before SWT implements another type of dropdown toolitem, is to allow another action type that has a menu but doesn't have an action (e.g something like IAction.AS_DROP_DOWN_MENU_ONLY). Then in the ActionContributionItem the menu can be shown when both the main button and drop down buttons are pressed.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
