I can see how this would be problematic for some users. When the user clicks on a menu and moves the cursor to an adjacent menu, focus will automatically switch to the new menu. However, by that reasoning, the user would expect the menu to close completely if they move the cursor away from it completely, which it doesn't.
This isn't a trivial fix given that this functionality is deeply rooted within the Ubuntu GUI. I'm not sure if this is a GTK things, or something to do with Gnome's implementation of it, but this will require some work to change, so I am marking this as invalid for the paper cuts project. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New => Opinion ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Opinion => Invalid ** Also affects: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700739 Title: Having to click once to close an open Gnome menu is confusing for new users -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
