Description Jim McAtee 2008-01-20 15:26:05 UTC

It's annoying when those lists remain open once you've moved your mouse out of them.  It requires you to find someplace in the window where you can mouse click without causing something to else happen.  Why not just keep them open while the mouse cursor is within the list?  This is how most of these things are implemented all across the web.

The way it is implemented is the default behaviour for any standard dropdown list I know on Linux, OSX and Windows. Most users don't care whether they are on the web or not. That's why they still doubleclick links in the web and expect the dropdown list to stay open until the want it to be closed.

We used to hide the tooltips in the settings dialog when the mouse was moved away. We had to change the behaviour because users wanted to be able to close it manually, without having to pay attention where they move the mouse cursor.
