2011-02-15 15:47:49 Hasen el Judy description If you click an indicator icon, then attempt to move the mouse moves from the icon to the menu, it could momentarily hover a neighboring indicator icon. For example (see attached image), if the messaging icon is to the left of the sound icon, and the user clicks the sound icon, then moves the mouse diagonally to reach the volume slider, the mouse will briefly pass over the messaging icon. Current behavior: The sound menu closes and the messaging menu opens (this is very frustrating). Desired behavior: Keep the sound menu open and ignore the messaging menu. If you're not convinced that this is important, check out the normal application menu: if you open a submenu, then move the mouse diagonally, the open menu doesn't change. Contrast with the behavior of the classic start menu in old versions of windows (e.g. windows xp) where diagonal mouse movement changes the active submenu.
