           Summary: Context menu "Copy to" and "Move to" menu should
                    expand by click, not mouseover
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sb56637 at gmail.com


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

Hello,

I use and enjoy the KDE feature of the context menu "Copy to" and "Move to" for
files and folders. However, there is a significant annoyance that prevents it
from being useful. Since the directory listing expands by mouseover, it quickly
becomes very cluttered by temporarily mousing over a very large directory with
many subfolders. As I try to move the mouse down to the folder I want to move
the file to, I usually end up with a clutter of other folders that cover up the
rest of the screen and prevent me from clicking on the folder that I want to
move it to because the sub-menus expand so quickly on mouseover. To fix this,
the menus for "Copy to" and "Move to" on the context menu should only expand
onclick instead of mouseover.

Thanks in advance for fixing this!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put a file on the desktop in the bottom right corner.
2. Right click, "Move to"
3. Try to move it somewhere on your system with many folders.

Actual Results:  
As I try to navigate the directory structure many, many folders appear, which
block me from selecting the one I want.
