Is there any option in Confluence to have the drop down menus at the top right of the screen working on a mouse click instead of a mouse over?

[Dave Donnelly _Sensata_]

Time and time again I have observed users getting frustrated with the Confluence interface when they go to select something from the drop down menus in the top right only to have them appear and then suddenly disappear when they mistakenly click on them. The action of clicking on a drop down to get it to appear seems to be fairly hard wired in most people and the current menu drop down function seems to get them annoyed.... a lot!

Any way to change this?

Funny you ask :) We've actually implemented this in Confluence 4.0 which we plan to ship later this quarter. See this post for more details:

Great stuff! Looking forward to it. Thanks for the info.

Is there way to get the mouseover back in confluence 4.0?
