I hope I described this issue properly in my title. Let me lead with an example:
I click on the start menu and start typing. Already, unlike the traditional start menu, there is no field to type into that I can see, but it works well enough and lets me type a search or a question.
For instance, I type "Device Driver" and the start menu shows two possible answers:
Best Match
Update device Drivers
Device Manager
Web
(various results)
When I mouse over the two top answers, or the web answers, they get a background color change, as they should.
But when I click on one of my choices, nothing happens. I get no feedback of any kind. No color change, no highlight, no visual feedback of any kind that I clicked on something.
Eventually, (as in this example) the Device Manager window opens, but in the time it takes for it to open I might have clicked a number of other things and all of them start to open.
I learned to live with it, but it seems strange that Microsoft would build a UI that produced no visual feedback when clicking on something, so I am wondering if maybe my settings are wrong or it is something I did.
Is that the way it is designed? I know it is a very minor issue, especially compared to my internet going dark every 10 minutes (something that happened very rarely with Win 7) but it's still annoying.
