Hello. My Start Menu is configured to open on mouse hover but when I click on other window - it doesn't close. It closes only when I'm clicking on a task bar or desktop. Also if I have opened two windows e.g. Firefox and Skype, Firefox window is in foreground, I click Skype icon in task bar, window appears in foreground and then I hover start menu - Skype window disappears and goes to background.

I'm using win 8.1 x64 and all 4.x versions have this bug.

Yes, this is a known problem. There is no solution at the moment. The start menu closes when it becomes inactive. However for this to happen it has to become active first.

Windows is trying very hard to prevent programs from activating without being actually clicked on with the mouse. Without a mouse click the start menu fails to become active as it opens, and then fails to lose its activation as you click elsewhere.
