           Summary: Menus should never appear under the mouse pointer
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: bastian kde org
        ReportedBy: kde jamesots com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When clicking on a menu item, the menu should never appear beneath the pointer (i.e. \
with an item already selected), because when the mouse is released, the selected item \
will be executed, before the user has had a chance to see what they've selected.   
I've seen this happen on context menus. Most of the time a context menu appears with \
its corner at the mouse position, but every so often, for no apparent reason, one \
will appear beneath the pointer instead - most often on the 'Quit' entry of a system \
tray icon.

The other place this happens is with overside bookmarks menus, but that's covered in \
bug 76324.
