      Steps to Reproduce

      run the attached wrapped-menubar.zul
      1. Open (Click) "Menu First Row 1"
      2. Try move your mouse down in order to click Item 1 or 2

      Actual Result

      This will be quite difficult. In most cases the "Menu Second Row 1" will open before the user has the chance to click a menu item (you need to move the mouse very fast in order to stay in "Menu First Row 1")

      Expected Result

      (Improved) Usability

      Debug Info

      There is a visual gap (3px) between the <menu> and the <menupopup>
      When moving the mouse over this gap the <menu> in the second row gets activated.

      Root Cause

      Workaround

      the attachment contains a commented out CSS workaround using a an invisible ::after pseudo element to "close the gap" preventing mouse events from reaching the <menu> in the second row.

      <style>
      	.z-menu.z-menu-selected::after {
      		background: transparent; /*invisible*/
      		content: ' ';            /*invisible*/
      		/*border: 1px solid red;*//*enable this line for visual feedback while debugging*/
      		display: block;
      		position: absolute;
      		top: 100%;   /*exactly below the parent*/
      		left: 0;     /*left aligned with the parent*/
      		width: 100%; /*same width as parent*/
      		height: 3px; /*cover the gap, tweak if you have a different spacing*/
      		z-index: 21; /*just more than the menu z-index of 20, might have to be higher when used in a modal dialog*/
      	}
      </style>
