Help Balloon Hides Menu Options
When you hover over a menu bar item and pause the help tip balloon(s)pops up
with a descriptor for the specific menu option. The help pop up blocks the menu
and/or sub-menu options so that they cannot be seen. This makes navigation
cumbersome if you are simply looking for a menu option and may be unsure under
which menu option the item you are looking for is. This help should (ideally)
be slightly offset so as not to overlay/hide menu items in the drop-down. e.g.
in Calc. Selecting 'Format' the help balloon pops up with a description of the
'Format' option and obscures the first four menu items below it with the help
text "The Format menu contains options for formatting..." etc and hides the
'Clear Direct Formatting','Cells','Row','Column' options. The position where
the help balloon appears appears to be mouse position sensitive i.e. with some
options you can make the help balloon appear to the right of the menu option by
careful (very careful) positioning of the mouse to the extreme right of a
sub-menu item. However, it is not possible with primary menus to truly position
the mouse and can be tricky with a sensitive mouse.
