Description Sean Middleditch 2006-01-05 03:36:16 UTC
When the menubar menus are loaded and the icons have not yet been loaded and
cached, the menus are immediately rendered.  The icons very quickly pop into
place and push the labels out to the right and also push them further apart.

The problem is that occassionally I might move a little faster than the icon
loading can complete.  I put the cursor over a label and just before clicking
the icons suddenly pop into existance and add both horizontal and vertical
spacing to the menu, generally causing the item I then click on to not be the
one I had just been aiming at a moment before.

I don't notice this happen with regular application menus; just with the menubar
menus.

I think that if the menu had blank space allocated for the icons when the menu
first appears, so that when the icons are finally loaded they don't cause any of
the labels to move around, that this problem would disappear.

This problem isn't severe, the icons tend to pop up *very* quickly, but
sometimes I'm just a little too quick or the computer's just a little too slow.  ;-)
