Description

Steps to reproduce:

Load the attached project file and run it or follow the following steps:

1. Make a Flex AIR project.
2. Make an MXML component extending spark.components.Window object. Lets call this window object POPUP
3. In the POPUP, make a spark DropdownList with some data
4. Make sure that there is a way to open the POPUP from the main window.
5. Run the app and then open the POPUP
6. Try opening the DropDownList by clicking on it.
7. The first time it take two clicks to open and not just one as it's supposed to.
8. It functions fine after that.
9. Close the POPUP, open it again and repeat steps 6 through 8 to see the same behavior again.

Actual Results:
The DropDownList takes two clicks to open the first time.

Expected Results:
The DropDownList should respond open when clicked on it.

Workaround (if any):
Calling openDropDown() function on the dropdown after creation complete. But then again, it should function without requiring this.
