First post here, I use to be very active on Blender Artist forum, and I was told to come here to ask about my issue.
PROBLEM
My problem is that I use to go very quick with the mouse.
When I need to change Editor Type (for example Python Console) I cannot go diagonal with the mouse. Is was possible in 2.7 but no longer possible in 2.8, for some reasons.
Here is the problem explained :
Blender 2.79 : (OK )
Blender 2.81 : (Non OK )
SOLUTION
A solution would be to allow the mouse to go out of the menu before re entering it.
It means being able to go above the red part, without closing the menu :
Here is a simple explanation of the current state :
The ânews feedâ is only for important stuff, the user feedback is not part of it.
And what youâre showing there is not an issue I think. Your mouse cursor is hovering over similar dropdown menus, so itâs expected that they will open.
I know, that is why I donât consider this as a âbugâ, for me itâs a coding choice that can be made by devs.
But here, thatâs pretty much the only Menu which expands more Horizontally than Vertically, so it will remain annoying.
And by the way, that was the same for 2.79 and it worked perfectly, an exception must have been made in order to get it ok. So, why not doing it in 2.81, if itâs only better ?
No. In 2.79, that was the only dropdown menu in that area. In 2.8 there are more dropdown menus next to it, thatâs why itâs easier to touch them by accident.
Blender call them some weird things, but usually they are two different UI elements.
The one to choose the editors type is mostly known as âDropdown Menuâ (blender call it just âMenuâ, no idea why). The âView, Select, Add, etcâ are the ones mostly known as âMenusâ (blender call it âPulldownâ, again, not idea why).
So yep, they are and should be treated differently.
Yes itâs just some undifferentiated naming here.
But these both are not the same. For example when you open a drop down menu, you want to be able to switch to other drop down menus without further clicks as they are part of the same menu.
But you would not expect to open any drop down list too.
I really agree with ThinkingPolygons here. The behaviour itself is ok that way.
Just tried it out and it seems Iâm wrong. You can open a dropdownlist and switch to the menu drop down back and forth. Thats different to how I thought it would behave. So better let a dev explain that. I think they tried to make it faster, but this could be made more restrictive in my opinion.
For me, solving the problem is just about one line of code in the UI.
I didnât have a look on the code yet (I mean for this specific part of selecting Editor Type)
But Iâve coded some addons for my team, and If I had to reproduce this UI Bar, itâs just a matter of adding a split in the row just after the first Menu (Editor Change) and then adding other Menus in a rows (View, etcâŚ) That way, we canât go from a group to another, as far as I knowâŚ

Is it because
