Bug Description
1. Moving the mouse pointer into the edges of the screen, where the Whisker-menu button resides, causes it to flicker between the hovered/unhovered states, randomly falling into either following mouse inactivity. The expected behavior from prior releases is that it stays hovered (allowing the user to open it with a click).
Placing the Xfce panel at the bottom of the screen, I noticed that moving the mouse against the bottom-edge (but keeping it away from the left-edge) doesn't cause the issue like it does when placed at the top. Maybe that's related to how the coordinates are computed/
2. Dragging items within the Whisker menu (e.g. to re-order the Favorites list) doesn't work reliably. Most of the time, the picked-up items are dropped as soon as the cursor is moved. With some care and luck, a drag & drop can succeed, but no pattern/method is apparent.

Hello. I'm using Whisker Menu 2.1.2 on Xubuntu 17.04 with xfce4-panel 4.12.1
My issue is that Whisker Menu button loses its highlight when I move cursor on the screen edges. I've tested it when the panel was pinned to the top (default in Xubuntu) and to the bottom with 100% length and on fresh user account. It seems that WM should be the first item on the panel to see this issue appear. No matter if it's displayed as an icon or a text. When the highlight is lost clicking on the button is not bringing the menu up. It just makes the highlight appear, nothing more.
I recorded my screen to explain this issue better (I will attach the file also): /drive. google. com/open? id=0B8qh4- wxxEZ7ckpic29md UEyWW8
