Hi,
Problems 2/3: this is not exactly correct, in Haiku you don't need this
precise mouse movements to reach a submenu. It is allowed to move over
other menu items to reach the submenu. We use menus a lot, so we have been
careful to make them behave this way.
Problem 4: menus open to the right unless there is no available space.
"one fixed direction" would make them open outside the screen, so, that's
not very helpful.
In general, DeskBar should be updated and be more modern, indeed. There
have been various proposals over the years around that.
