> 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
