Description Egor Ushakov 2013-04-29 08:50:11 UTC 
Now every submenu expansion delay is ~1second, which is useless if you know where to go... See this article how Amazon solved this:

Could we consider doing the same in Netbeans?

Which platform are you on? It's less than half a second delay on MS Windows...
Comment 2 Egor Ushakov 2013-04-29 08:58:59 UTC 
I'm on Solaris 11
Comment 3 Stanislav Aubrecht 2014-07-08 12:27:27 UTC 
Menus are implemented in the Java platform, there's no reliable way to implement Amazon-like menu expansions.
