Description

When the mouse leaves the sub-menu (e.g. by accident) the sub-menu automatically closes. Is there a way to prevent this?

I've seen that I can add a subMenuCloseDelay, but if I increase this then when the user switches between submenus, the previous submenu doesn't close.

Effectively I only want submenus to close when you choose a different submenu. Is this possible?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the trigger component's submenu close handling and the existing subMenuCloseDelay behavior. Determine whether submenu changes can close the previous submenu while pointer exit leaves the current submenu open; done means this behavior is available without breaking switching between submenus.
