I still, after all this time, don't like the auto-appear roll over menus of SI, Mail, SubjectMarks, PeopleMarks and Tools. What I don't like is the fact that they are invoked way more times by accident than they are on purpose. The ratio is somewhere around 20 to 1. That's just intentionally poor design. A menu that leaps out on the page obscuring other things and demanding attention, over and over would be bad, but here we have 5 menus lined up across the top of the page, forming a line across an area my mouse pointer must traverse to get to different tabs, the url field, various bookmark menus, the "show the previous page" back button and all of Safari's menus. The worst part is that one of them (see graphic) locks in place and requires operator action to get rid of. As a long time Silicon Investor member and supporter, I urge you to reconsider and fix this interface.
