What were you trying to do?
	Use the Bookmarks button.

What's wrong:
	The bookmarks button used to be "sticky".  Don't
	know the technical term but it used to stay visible
	after releasing the mouse so you didn't have to
	hold the mouse button depressed in order to navigate
	the bookmarks.  Now you have to continue to hold
	the mouse or the menu goes away.

What should have happened:
	The behaviour should not have changed.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	It hurts more to have to hold the mouse button down.
