Thus if just click on it it open whatever URL/bookmark is on top of the Bookmark button. The only way to look at the bookmarks is to hold the mouse button down. I suggest that the bookmarks should show up to the right of the bookmarks button and not over it! sarang (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)

I suppose that you mean "Bookmark menu" instead of "Bookmark button". Yes ok. But this is a Qt bug. When a menu is too big to be shown under or above the "parent item" in the menubar it currently shows on top of it. Trying to find room on the left or on the right of the menuitem is indeed a good idea.

This bug is still present in the newest CVS HEAD (of KDE) and Qt 3.3 - about three years later. I can imagine another, maybe simpler, solution for this problem: Don't let a ButtonRelease event select menu items, only ButtonPress events. (Maybe you could make that user-configurable.) I think you shouldn't underestimate the importance of this bug. It can be very annoying even if you know about it and extremely confusing (not to mention embarrassing) if you don't.
Still present in QT 3.3.2 (Fedora 3 with all updates applied as oi 20060117) This is the most annoying bugs in konqueror - for me at least.
