Description Jonathan Pryor 2003-11-27 23:41:21 UTC 
The fullscreen menubar doesn't follow FITTS law.

With a fullscreen program, the menubar is across the top of the screen (as
with Mac OS).

However, when "slamming" the mouse against the top of the screen and
attempting to select a menu item, all menu items are "missed" -- they
cannot be selected.  This is possibly due to the ~1 pixel border around
each menu item.

My demo app for this is, unfortunately, non-ideal.  It's a Gtk# program
running under Mono.  However, the Gtk# library is a small wrapper around
the GTK+ libraries, and shouldn't be changing the normal behavior of the
menubar.

I ran this on a (heavily modified) Red Hat 9 box with the Ximian
"XD-Unstable" GTK+ gtk2-2.3.0-0.ximian.6.2 library.
