I didn't write that; you just chose to read it like that.
Fact is that as soon as you add widgets that require interaction into a 
popup-like-menu you are going to have a lot of usability problems like I 
explained in various previous posts.
And all the counter arguments I get are that you don't expect it to really 
matter...

I'm not sure why usability people are asked for opinions anymore, as the 
developers just seem to know better anyway.

So, I'll leave this thread with one last thought;
I'm just providing requested feedback; you make the decisions to ignore it 
if you want; I'm not even going to say "I told you so" any time in the 
future. So you have to ask yourself how many advises you want to reject 
since you really want to fix this problem where it is right now.

Cheers!
