Description John Wilson 2008-07-06 19:26:53 UTC 
Version:           4.01 (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

The choices/icons/tabs at the lower part of the kickoff menu activate when the mouse pointer hovers or passes over them causing the menus to suddenly change while the user is attempting to navigate to another choice in the menu(s) above.

This behaviour can and does cause disorientation for the user and subsequently the user losing their place in the menu structure.

These should only become active following a positive mouse click leaving the menu the user is navigating through in place to avoid disorientation and frustration with the menu plasmoid as a whole.

Correcting this behaviour, which appears to be the intended behaviour, will improve the user interaction with the menu.

this is an optional setting, you can change it if you wish.
