Bug Description
If you place your mouse cursor in the place you know the menu is about to appear (either having clicked the mintmenu button or by hotkey) before it appears, the following click does not register unless you roll out and back into the same menu item.
To replicate, press hotkey for the menu, ensure favorites are showing and hover over any item in the list. Then press the hotkey twice - once to hide the menu again, and once to show it again. Then without moving the mouse, click. Nothing happens.
This is a replication case not the only situation where your mouse would be in the right location. I have confirmed that it happens on slower machines where the menu hasn't had time to pop up. It appears to be to do with code executed on roll-in that doesn't get executed if the mouse is presently in the right location.

confirmed in mintMenu 4.8.5: the currently hovered item is not selected on focus. This may possibly be a GTK issue, but it seems like it should be fixable by adding a hover-check hook to on-focus or on-open. It doesn't seem to happen with gnome-menu, but that could be because it uses a simpler list (difficult to tell because I haven't set a shortcut).
