---------------------------------------
Summary: Make context meus more usable
Key: NETBEANS-329
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-329
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ide - UI
Affects Versions: Next
Reporter: Christian Lenz
Attachments: context-menu-disappears.gif,
context-menu-stay-webstorm.gif
As you can see it here:
[http://bjk5.com/post/44698559168/breaking-down-amazons-mega-dropdown]
in the second gif, there is the problem, that when you hover a menu item and it
has child nodes and you want to move to the last item with the mouse it will
disappear immediately. This is happening in NetBeans, for context menus too.
See my screencapture for what I mean.
In the link, if you scroll down, you can see the trick. They don't use a delay
or animation, they have a specific range, where the mouse can be moved, w/o the
child elements disappears. This was implemented in IntelliJ. See my other
screen capture for what I mean.
So, for NetBeans to make the context menu more usable, we need such range where
I can move my mouse to the 4th or 6th child element, wihout having the pain in
the ass, that the menu disappears to early.
Cheers
Chris
