Products and Support menus

Moving down from the tabs of my browser to a (forum) page to , I constantly get the products menu or the support menu over my page.

 

They are quite big, and I actually have to move out of my way to click somewhere to make it disappear.

 

Could the menus be made less responsive? So you actually have to hover it, instead of just entering it?

 

Also, the menus are the (almost?) same color as the background, making it harder to find a spot to click on. We're talking ms here, but it keeps happening over and over again. And I'd be ok with it if they never show 😁.

 

EDIT: Same for the Solutions menu.

Wiebe:

 

My sentiments exactly, I have learned to 'sideswipe' my mouse along the edge of the page to prevent those annoying fast responding menus from popping up.

I knew I discussed this somewhere.  I just spent 10 minutes only to figure out it was in a private board.  So, absolutely, this needs fixed!  It is my #1 issue with the forums at the moment.

Spoiler
My #2 issue is I really want a way to sort my Favorites.

As the subject title says.

 

The Products and Support contents keep dropping down in a very annoying manner since they cover nearly half the page.  This occurs if the cursor finds its way slightly above the link bar of interest.   In this case, the link bar is:

If I want to quickly go back to Special Interest Boards, I would simply click on it; however, if the cursor goes slightly above the desired selection, the pop down menu of selections from the bar further up blocks the view.   You need to reduce the active area to prevent the annoyance.  Using Firefox on a Linux machine.

Agreed.  Those dropdowns are a little too quick.

Yes, those dropdowns are very annoying.

Unfortunately, it looks like the header just doesn't fully load when in the community.  At least, that's what I see (FF 68.12 ESR).
