It does for me. 2.1.5 with the PAN_FRAME_THICKNESS set to 2 produces
a root menu when Left Mouse Button clicking on the edge of the frame
even with some window underneath that would normally produce some
other reaction to an LMB click.
However, it not very consistent. Going to the left or up, I don't get
this effect. Going right or down, it does. Note that these last two
directions were the same direction that failed to edge scroll for me
when PAN_FRAME_THICKNESS was set to 1. Also, the root menu
decorations (DGradient in my case) do not appear in this context.
I don't consider these to be real problems because they never appear
on their own and I have to go out of my way to see if I can make them
occur.

I can edge scroll with the mouse alone or while dragging a window.
