This post suggests that it is a design decision rather than a bug and i understand why i might be this way.
It says to just repeat the parent in the child list.
Try this:

I’m still diagnosing why it doesn’t do it for me.
Sorry, I missed that you’d tried it already! If I have a breakthrough I’ll let you know.

It’s not very intuitive of a design decision, is it? That’s the workaround I came up with on my own [adding the parent in the submenu too], but I was sure it had to be an issue, because not having the parent clickable makes no sense and is clunky navigation.
Thanks for your answer.
I cant say why the author of this theme chose to do it this way but if you are using a touch screen device then it does make sense to have it this way.It is counter intuitive to touch the parent menu entry to open the menu and then choose a page . I have seen that people just expect it to close the menu again so it doesn’t get selected.

THANK YOU! For those of us who don’t know CSS, this is the answer we need! And, it makes perfect sense when you think about touch screens. That’s clever.
