Yea.. I see what you mean. Given that you are only using the drop-down menu and the animation is not that important, I think you would be better off with something like the following which is essentially the same skin with the animation stuff stripped out:

Oops.. forgot to change the X=380 to X=(#Xpos#+70) in [App1]. I think the code below should work:

I've just loaded the code posted above and don't have any problems with the menu closing when the mouse cursor leaves it. Try moving the skin around the screen a bit to be sure that there is not a transparent part of another skin covering the drop-down menu.

Sorry, but I'm not much good at finding the cause of a problem if I can't replicate it on my machine. As to your query about closing the window n seconds after it opens, I guess this would be possible with a counter that was enabled when the window was opened but I think you first need to find out why the meter can't be hidden with a MouseLeaveAction.
