Hi there,
I've got aware of a nice thing in at least Dano (dunno about R5): when
a menu has a (open) submenu, you can move the mouse cursor over other
items on the way to that submenu as long as you don't stop moving.
Interestingly, this only works as long as you move the cursor in the
direction of the submenu; if the menu is on the right and you move the
cursor to the left, the menu will close immediately after you've left
the area of the originating menu item.
If you ask me, we should not only copy this behaviour, but also wait a
tiny bit until closing the menu if the mouse cursor movement is
interrupted (as you don't always move the cursor that smoothly).
Both of these helps the usability of these menus quite a bit.
Bye,
Axel.
