The mega menu fades in nicely when you add a transition property. However, when your mouse leaves focus and/or the dropdown leaves view, it does so abruptly and doesn’t use the same transition to leave view as it does when it enters view.

Hi Alex,  
Thanks so much for your report!

This is not a bug, but a suggestion for improvement. We use `display: none` to hide the dropdowns, which unfortunately cannot be “animated” when hiding because the element is then already no longer visible.

Nevertheless, I agree with you that it is much more convenient if the transition works in both directions. I have added it to the to-do list.

Best regards,  
timmse
