Open delay and closing broken in 5.729 - Pre Release

When quickly passing over a horizontal menu, its submenus open and stay open - even when the mouse is no longer anywhere near the menus. This occurs in both Firefox and IE. (horizontalMenuDelay=true)

This bug exists in 5.729 pre-release; 5.728 works correctly.

Oops, I've just gone and release 5.729 and didn't see this.

Can you please confirm that this happens on 5.729 final release?

If it does, I'll get right onto it.

Cheers,
Andy

Confirmed. This is still a problem on 5.729 final.

The new menu specific delay works great! Thanks!!!

Is there a URL where I can see that happen.

Also, does it happen on all browsers or is it specific to a browser?

Cheers,
Andy

Problem found and fixed.

it was to do with the fact that your menu opening delay is longer than your closing delay. This cause a problem with the menu not knowing when to close the new sub menu

Version 5.730 is in Pre Release at http://www.milonic.com/menuvinfo.php

Hope this helps,
Andy

Yes, this indeed fixed the submenu opening problem. However, I've discovered two minor issues with 5.730PR related to menu-specific delays:

1. Menu item specific subimage no longer works (worked in 5.729)

I want to suppress the subimage for "hidden" submenus (long delays) so I specified "subimage=;". I also tried "subimage=transparent;" but neither works. Am I doing this correctly?

For an example, see Classes > Christian Principles or Christian Servanthood using the above url.

2. Moving from one menu having a long opendelay to another long-delay menu, the previous menu doesn't close right away. Instead it closes only as the new submenu opens. This just appears strange - like it's hung. The submenu should close after the closemenu delay and be independent from the openmenu delay value.

For an example, open the Classes menu and switch back and forth between Christian Principles and Christian Servanthood.

FYI - I confirmed that these two issues related to menu-specific delays still exist in 5.730.
