Bug description:
gtk 2.22, Ubuntu 10.10
1. Click on the volume control to open the sound menu.
2. Move the pointer diagonally to click on the maximum volume button.
<https://launchpadlibrarian.net/42732636/Why_autoexpanding_indicators_are_a_bad_idea.png>
What often happens: The sound menu closes, and the menu next to it opens.
Screencast: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVUokjAlREs>
Example in an informal usability test:
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PgGbZfR6Vec#t=13m55s>
What should happen: The sound menu stays open.
One solution would be to make the volume slider vertical. But this
would not work for other menus (like the Bluetooth menu), and would
look awkward with other items in the menu.
Another solution would be to use a timer for closing the current menu
and opening a new one. This is what Windows does for submenus. But it
has the drawback of slowing down browsing, which would be worse for
top-level menus than for submenus.
GTK already has a more sophisticated solution for submenus, similar to Mac
OS: a triangle based on the corners of the submenu and its parent item, in
which there is a much longer delay for closing the submenu and changing the
menu selection.

Discussion of the invisible triangle for submenus in GTK:
<http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2000-May/msg00118.html>
However, this feature in Gtk+ has been broken since July 2013.
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710388> The code, once
fixed, should be applied to menu titles as well.
