Arrghhh!

Well now that's got your attention/back up[1] I would like to provide some 
feedback as to why I'm saying "Arrghhh" and the uses cases that I find are now 
killed because of it.

I constantly find myself cutting and pasting bits of info from Jenkins to place 
elsewhere and half way through selecting the piece of information I need the 
popup menu appears - and this causes the selection to be deselected - so when 
the mouse is still moving to select some more bits you end up with the first 
bit selected no longer being in the selection :-o
(this gets even worse when using a track pad rather than a mouse as you need to 
re-position your finger - so selection takes even longer than it would with a 
mouse)

The other is I know where the menu is relative to a co-ordinate so I may move 
my mouse without speed to the link I want.
When I do this without looking - (well you touch type so why not touch mouse!) 
you sometimes get a popup whilst the mouse is moving and select an item from 
the popup not the link that is now hidden by the popup.

They do not disappear with the same stimulus method that enabled them to appear 
(that is you can not dismiss them by moving the mouse) (which is what the 
weather ones allow you to do - they disappear as soon as you mouse out of the 
weather icon - or popup).  Even the weather popup can get obtrusive at times 
(think a folder with many jobs under it).

I have also found (but can't recall on which tooltip) that I wanted to get a 
"tooltip" (I think it was estimated time left of a build job) and the tooltip 
was then covered up by the popup menu - rendering the tooltip unreadable.

Note things may have moved on as I am on LTS. Chrome is the brower of choice...
