Description

System Information
Operating system: Windows 8.1
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX970

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.80, edbf15d3c044, master, 2018-11-28, as found on the splash screen)
Worked: (optional)
sorry, splash screen only says 2.80, but i did download the lastest version two days ago.

Short description of error
clicking on a button to open a context window, opens several other windows on simple mouse hover.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
add a plane, add a material, change surface to diffuse, click the options button near the color and quickly hover to the surface options button. these clicks are persistent, and if not a bug, a very poorly made decision.

i hope this hasn't been discussed, i couldn't figure out any correct keywords in the discussions.

I assume this is the behavior you describe?

I believe there's a degree of intentionality behind this behavior, at least for horizontally arranged drop-down menus. I know we have used_mouse, autoopentimer, and hold_action_timer in uiHandleButtonData, but I'm not 100% up to speed on how those properties are used.
