#5439: [Interface Kit] moving cursor from selected menu item to menu separator
doesn't trigger deselection

Comment(by bonefish):
There's indeed an inconsistency. Selected items without submenu get
deselected immediately when moving the mouse over an adjoining separator
item, while items with submenu stay selected and their submenu open. BeOS
consistently deselects the item in either case, including closing the
submenu in the latter.
I think I like that the submenu stays open, since that gives a bit more
wiggle room when navigating, but the selection is indeed problematic. It
should at least be dimmed or something to indicate that the item is no
longer selected. E.g. in the depicted example, if the Deskbar menu had
been opened by pressing and keeping the mouse button held down, one would
expect that releasing the button in the above situation would activate the
selected menu item's action. Which does not happen, though.
