Here's a nice nifty hate.

I select Open With for some file or another.  I mouse over the various
selections, and the little yellow label comes up.  I [esc] out of the
selection box, and the label... remains.

My friend explained this to me:

"Popups are actually just windows without the window stuff at the top
and the frame, but are set top always on top so you can see them. They
are controlled by hover and mouse out actions over an icon or menu, or
whatever.

"Sometimes, though, the mouse out code that would remove it
automatically doesn't run and it isn't removed. Alt-F4 as you know is
the default keys to close any window.

"Why it doesn't run is has to do with the mouse out being interrupted
before you leave that object and then the mouse being out of that
object at the mouse out event that closes that window never being
executed."

...

Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds this to be filled with
the rotten tofu of hate.  I key things in quickly enough to where this
happens to me at least once a fortnight, and it drives me *bonkers*.=20
Yknow, I don't need to see the labels that badly, Bob!
