I feel about them like I feel about touch screens; they lead to imprecision and error, and take extra seconds out of life, correcting mis-steps.

Yesterday, I wrote a post and saved it to draft and when I went back to it, it had disappeared . I thought I had imagined it for about ten minutes until I checked my second blog and found it there ! I printed the draft and posted it to the correct blog .
I had clicked the wrong blog in the hover menu .
If I can do it anyone can - can't they !

I just keep a tab open at all times with my comments screen(s) and that will have to do.

Maybe I just hate hover menus period.
And it might be a Mac thing; I don't know. When I have occasionally used them with a friend's PC, I do notice that the menus stick, instead of vaporizing, if you miss your mark. Maybe the klunkier graphics/screen interface of a PC is an advantage in this circumstance.

I usually love the WordPress updates, but the new dropdowns have me sad.

I have three blogs, and the main thing I do with my dashboard is manage comments. Tucking that option two layers down in a hover menu is really slowing me up. I use a MacBook with a trackpad, and it's just irritating as heck to have to nail the hover exactly right to make it down to the now-deep Manage Comments menu item.

What would really rock is a customizable one-click button for the main menu bar, so I can get to my comments on my main blog with one click. I'm sure that many people feel the same way- New Post and Manage Comments are what I want to get with minimal clicking and especially no hovering.

Am I missing something obvious that would help?
