SUMMARY A panel containing the global menu applet will auto-hide if the user closes a submenu. This can be very irritating, e.g. when the user tries to switch from the app menu to the calendar widget. Clicking the date&time text while a menu is open won't bring up the calendar, but instead it hides the panel. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set up global app menu in an auto-hiding panel 2. Open any top-level submenu by clicking on e.g. "View"/"Edit"/"Help" 3. Close the submenu, e.g. by pressing ESC Other submenu-closing actions that behave oddly are i) Clicking on other areas of the panel (e.g. the date), ii) Clicking on "View" again iii) pressing the left/right arrow keys twice (not sure why the last one closes the submenu to begin with) OBSERVED RESULT The submenu closes and at the same time the panel auto-hides, even if the mouse cursor is still hovering on the panel area. EXPECTED RESULT The only observable effect should be the submenu closing. The panel should stay visible as long as the mouse cursor is still hovering on the panel. (For reference, this is also how macOS implements its auto-hiding menu panel.)
