jqxMenu not closing automatically

[mirko.luganoParticipant]

Hi,
I’m testing the jqxmenu plugin (jQWidgets v2.3.1) along with jQuery 1.6.2.
I noticed that hovering on a menu item it correctly displays the 1st level submenu, but if I hover out of the menu item BEFORE the opening submenu animation has ended (for instance passing rapidly through the menu), the submenu remains opened and never disappears, unless I click somewhere outside of the menu or re-hover in and out of it. This also happens on the ‘official’ demo which can be found on the website http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxmenu/index.htm#demos/jqxmenu/defaultfunctionality.htm
(tested with Firefox 14.0.1, IE 9.0 and Chrome 21.0.1180.83).
I tried using the ‘autoCloseInterval’ property but it closes the menu even if you are still hovering on it. I would like to ask if there is some other setting I am missing or if it’s possible to integrate the feature with the HoverIntent jQuery plugin so that the menu opens only when the user slows down enough, or if the only choice is to disable menu animation to avoid this behaviour.

Thank you
Mirko

I forgot: using the ‘animationHideDelay’ property also does not work

Hi mirko.lugano,

To disable the Menu’s animation set this:

$(“#jqxMenu”).jqxMenu({ animationShowDuration: 0, animationHideDuration: 0, animationShowDelay: 0 });

I will create a new work item regarding the reported behavior with jqxMenu. We’ll have to test whether we can reproduce it.
