Scroll throught menus moves mouse

While blender already highlights the menu, when you have nested menus it ends up selecting what's under the mouse. In FL Studio the mouse moves as well, providing extra feedback and providing a solution to this issue.

That requires clicking on a nested menu to open it and get the mouse to snap into it. It seems like a little more effort than simply moving your mouse into the menu.

It also makes browsing nested menus harder. I can travel down a list to see what's in the nested menus just by hovering over the items they are nested under.

A good solution may be still showing the nested menus on hover, but only snapping the cursor into them when the user clicks on the menu item.

* @Logan Preshaw * Personally, moving the mouse requires more precision than just scrolling and for me, more precission = more effort. But your solution covers my need as well so it's good to go.

Emmm... If I understand you right and you suggest to move mouse inside menus with mouse wheel up/down - I already kind of suggested it here . Probably, bad thing that " interaction improvement " name is not good for search.

* @IIIFGIII * Your proposal is quite nice too, snnaping the mouse or not, as long as it works, it would be much better (btw, I just comented on a thread made by yours in devtalk, althought iirc my username is a little different there)
