I agree that this is somewhat counterintuitive. Just curious, what do you think the behavior should be? Since the mouse is no longer inside the menu bar, it's just doing what it's supposed to and hiding the items again. We could change that, but I'm not sure what a reasonable alternative behavior would be.

this is just my perspective. Since you gave the auto hidden feature a 'smart' option, in this case, this could be related to user action. e.g, the user right clicked the menu, and selected the show hidden items. which means they had an intention to 'show' them. Give it a timeout for 3 seconds, and include this feature in 'smart' mode. Not sure if I have the correct understanding of that smart show/hide option. I just installed this app for couple hours. but

e.g, the user right clicked the menu, and selected the show hidden items. which means they had an intention to 'show' them. Give it a timeout for 3 seconds, and include this feature in 'smart' mode.

hope this helps.
