Mouse + moving over middle part skin = Popup

I notice the following problem. When you work with a mouse, in the TV / Movie list, Setting, ... when moving with the mouse over the middle part, there is a popup showing, that in other skins is on the left side ( and slides out ). Very annoying, and in the way actually.

And maybe a useful little extra for the skin:

When you are in TV List / Movie List, and you want to see the movie detail information, you need to press "i" on the keyboard. I was just thinking, maybe it is possible, when you select a movie title, and move the mouse to the right side of the screen, that the detail information will "slide" out? Its just a idea...

The simple answer is that Metropolis doesn't have mouse support. Some things might work, but it was not designed for use with a mouse.

This is a known issue and probably will be addressed at some point, but I think all of the current developers don't personally use a mouse with XBMC.

To be honest, almost everything works perfectly with mouse. The only points that i noticed: The popup problem, and no ability to "move" a movie's time index using the progress bar ( with the mouse ).

For the rest the mouse seems to work perfectly. Even if its not planned...

Is there any way to disable that pop-up? I really like the skin and i want to keep using it, but that pop-up is very annoying.

It's obviously possible, but none of the current developers use a mouse, so it hasn't been high priority.

I'll probably get around to eventually, but not within the next month or so.
