I have a MenuStrip component on my form and I have noticed undesirable behavior as far as rendering goes. There is no issue when the RenderMode is set to professional, but only when the RenderMode is set to System (my preferred rendering).

When a ToolStripMenuItem's submenu is displayed and then the mouse cursor is moved over a different ToolStrupMenuItem (not contained in the submenu) both the expanded MenuItem and the MenuItem under the cursor are highlighted, resulting in two highlighted menu items in each menu, which can look pretty ugly. [See the attached image]

Is this some kind of bug or is this the expected behavior? The reason I ask is because it is inconsistent with both the old MainMenu component and the "Professional" rendered MenuStrip component.
