just to sum up i'll add some other:
-when clicking on an item the menu should reset: go in favourites, clear 
search if it was one and go in the root item of the all applications tab
-right mouse click on items seems to sometimes work but usually not
-tab geometry should change when the panel is on top or at right of the screen

or at least this was the behaviour it had before
