Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

When attempting to select an item from a menu several levels deep, such as from
the bookmark menu, accidentally moving the mouse to another option on one of the
higher-level menus will cause the lower-level menus to be cancelled.  It would
be preferable to (at least have an option to) allow a click on a submenu title
to fix the selection in that menu--i.e., so that the selection will not change
even if the mouse is moved over another selection in the same menu--preventing
an accidental jerk of the hand from clearing several levels of menus.
