It would be really nice if the video OSD had a auto-close timeout. Currently it stays open until one manually closes it. I've encountered many times with my family that when the remote is accidentally pressed, the OSD stays open and they either don't know how to close it, or it's an inconvenience. Personally I also find it inconvenient in several situations, for example if my mouse moves, the OSD shows up and doesn't auto-close.
Thanks

Mouse movement should auto close unless you have clicked it as for the rest its more a xbmc thing than a skin thign so moving it to feature requests. But I doubt it will go down well because most people would find it anoying if they intended to open it

Right, yea it's not closing even after just moving the mouse accidentally without clicking.
I've seen the auto-closing on several consumer interfaces such tivo, directv dvr, sony dvd, etc so it should be familiar feature for most people.
Thanks for the consideration.

Ok, I just found out that the mouse issue happens if XBMC is on a second display.

The OSD automatically closes after switching channels or after switching songs in an album, because that makes sense. Automatically closing something the user has specifically opened makes no sense.
