> in the second gif, there is the problem, that when you hover a menu item and 
> it has child nodes and you want to move to the last item with the mouse it 
> will disappear immediately. This is happening in NetBeans, for context menus 
> too. See my screencapture for what I mean.
> In the link, if you scroll down, you can see the trick. They don't use a 
> delay or animation, they have a specific range, where the mouse can be moved, 
> w/o the child elements disappears. This was implemented in IntelliJ. See my 
> other screen capture for what I mean.
> So, for NetBeans to make the context menu more usable, we need such range 
> where I can move my mouse to the 4th or 6th child element, wihout having the 
> pain in the ass, that the menu disappears to early.
> Cheers
> Chris
