NetBox version

v3.3.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

I would like to see a (possibly optional) delay for collapsed menu fly-out.

When using a collapsed menu, the mouseover delay is effectively 0, meaning that if you move your mouse just a little too far and click, you end up navigating to whatever your mouse happens to be over once the menu expands. Adding a small delay would reduce the number of accidental navigation errors and delays.

I acknowledge that this is a minor annoyance, but I hope that it's a minor fix.

Use case

Reduces delay and mis-clicks for those that use a collapsed menu.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None

I have a branch ready that adds a 200ms delay to the navbar opening.. Might be a little too much, but lets see what it feels like

I can create a PR if that is ok

As this seems to require a disproportionate amount of effort to implement, I'm closing this out in favor of the planned migration to Tabler (see #12128).
