Possible menu manager bug:

Background.  The new hierarchical menus have a nice delay in them.
The user can move the pointer diagonally from the (for example) `Font
>' choice to the font needed and the hierarchical menu will stay up
during that short diagonal move (under Suntools the user must
carefully move across horizontally to even see the pop-up menu, and
continue into it and down--ick, bluh, awk, ptw!).

Also, when the submenu is too wide to fit to the right of the original
menu, it will appear off to the left.

The seeming bug is that, in PageMaker 3.0, running under System Tools
6.0, on a Plus with a 20 Meg. Dataframe, there is no `get to the
submenu delay' for the font menu which falls to the left (with our
font load).  Is this a bug?  Who's is it?  (I will look further when I
get home tonight.)
