 It would be great to change the behavior from hover to click for the
 profile menu to expand on the top admin toolbar. When moving a mouse to
 the top right of the screen to click the Update button for a post or page,
 more than half the time I accidentally hover over the profile link which
 then overlaps the update button and then I click. This results in a
 dialogue box being displayed asking if I want to leave the site and
 changes may not be saved. This seems like a minor annoyance, but I’ll bet
 there are many others out there that experience the same thing. Also, the
 profile/logout link is so rarely used by our content editors, the
 difference between two clicks vs. hover and click isn’t a big deal.

 Another way to address this could be to provide an option to universally
 have menus expand and collapse only on click vs. hover in the admin
 interface. It may also have the side affect of making it a bit more
 accessible for those with poor motor skills.
