When opening the context menu by right-clicking in the H&M topic editor, the menu takes about a second to slowly fade in. In my opinion, this is pretty annoying and the fade-in time should be reduced to 250 ms max. This applies to all drop-down menus, including those in the ribbon control on top.
Another thing to consider is to disable the animation entirely if "Visual effects are performance optimized" is activated in the General options.

Re: Context menu fade-in animation
Hi Thomas,
If we did make this change I guarantee you would instantly want us to reverse it, because it would make normal browsing in the TOC while you are working impossible and would drive you to distraction in less than five minutes. If you display the context box and then move the mouse you will notice that it then displays instantly for every TOC entry. The pause before displaying the box is essential, because then it makes it possible to move the mouse around in the TOC without having context boxes pop up constantly when you don't want them.

Re: Context menu fade-in animation
Hi Tim,
We are talking about two different things here. I am referring to the context menu that appears when pressing the right mouse button anywhere in the editor or the TOC:
Between pressing the mouse button and the context menu becoming fully opaque, it takes about a second on my PC (Windows 10).

Hi Thomas,
Yes, I agree that it is a little slow. We'll look into that.
