Actually, it doesn't work after all
Authored by: MJCube on Sep 20, '04 03:50:42PM

On further investigation of the hint, turns out it makes no difference whether you press the mouse on the main menu item. My rule above applies the same as without the mouse button: If you move within 45° of horizontally, you have 1 full second after the mouse leaves the main menu item to get to the submenu before it disappears.

So I guess the Anonymous tipster was staying within that angular range and only thought the persistence of the submenu was due to holding the mouse button. Anyone have a different response?

Yes, it does (for me at least)

I have been doing that for awhile. It never fails me. Anyone who reads this comment should click on my username and be surprised. I figured it out all myself.

If you hold down the button like the tipster suggests and then mouse over the sub-menu you want open, it will stay open as long as you keep the button pressed, no matter where you go on the screen or how long you are off the sub-menu. Just be careful you don't mouse over the parent menu, that will cause the sub-menu to close immediately!

... Or to the menu bar, because then you get a whole new menu. So how is that any different from just rolling the mouse over to the submenu?
