Menu Menu - dropdown speed when opening / closing on hover

Dear team,

is there a way to slowdown the speed at which the menu menu opens and closes? To explain it better: The current version does open/close immediately, meaning if the cursor is moved slightly out of focus (e.g. not totally straight down but a bit towards another menu option), the current menu immediately closes and the next one opens.

The menu should have a little bit of "wait time" until it moves on to another menu entry in case the user is too lazy to move to cursor straigh down for a selection.

You can see this behaviour here: https://www.vmware.com/uk/products.html
Once you move the cursor over a menu item, it takes a short while until it opens.
Also if you move it slightly out of focus, the previously opened dropdown menu is still open and does not immediately close, making selections much more stress free.

Thank you very much!

Kind Regards,
Tom

Hello,

Unfortunately, this is not supported as the Dropdown Menus use CSS instead of JS for a more smoother experience and keep the page lighter. The JS Animations can effect the browser memory causing in background lag and issues with other components on the Page. We will definitely try integrating a better solution in Our Future Updates and will send you a Notification once this is available.

Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.
