Stop neurotic submenus from disappearing

This is a pretty minor hint, but it saves a lot of frustration for people like me who still can't keep the crayon between the lines. It used to be that whenever I was trying to select an item in a submenu (like "Recent Files" menus) and the menu was extra wide because one of the items in it had a really long name, I would move the mouse too far up or down, and the submenu would disappear before I got over to it.
The solution is very simple. Single click on the menu you want (don't hold down the mouse button after you have selected it). This will open the menu, and leave it displayed. Now move to the menu item containing the desired submenu. Here's the tricky bit -- hold down the mouse button while you move to the submenu. This will keep the selected menu item active until you reach its submenu.
