The pinning seems great. I don't think anyone objects to it.

Is there a bug report or can you link the relevant Gerrit change for the
animation? The animation feels a bit ehhh. I'm unclear what exactly the
use-case for animation is, but in the past adding (any?) user interface
animation has required a fairly high burden of proof that it's absolutely
necessary, as I recall.

[Mid-air collision, reading the change now. Thanks for the link!]

The other strange behavior I find is that clicking "More" when the menu is
expanded does not currently re-collapse the menu. The lack of collapsing is
weird, especially when it's only accompanied by a very small animation of a
related triangle icon. This is the part that looks particularly broken. Is the
lack of collapsing due to the menu expanding on hover _or_ click? It seems as
though even if I don't move the mouse at all and only click, that does not
re-collapse the menu when it is expanded. That seems like a bug.
