Bug 413267

SUMMARY
Dear maintainer and developers !

The mini program "applications-menu" (in german "Anwendungsmenu" - the english name is not available on the german desktop) mostly closes itself when trying to switch from one sub menu to another with the mouse-pointer. If the user opens the wrong sub-menu and recognizes, that the desired application is in another "folder" of the applications-menu, it disappears and he has to reopen it (by clicking on the starter in the taskbar). This makes it strenuous to use it. I have my taskbar at the top of the display and the option "open by mouse-contact and close automatically" is activated. Before 4 months it worked as expected yet, but then this dysfunction appeared. Do You think it's possible to fix this ?

If this post belongs to another application/mini-program (although there was no other suitable option containing the string "menu" at bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi), please move it to there, don't simply delete it...

Regards
Harry Haller


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open the applications-menu with the mouse
2. open a sub-folder
3. try to move back and open another sub-menu

OBSERVED RESULT
the complete menu closes/disappears

EXPECTED RESULT
it should remain opened and give one the opportunity to choose another topic in the applications-menu
