There are a two issues with cascade-style menus:

1. They don't draw using OS menus, but instead use emulated menus

2. They require that the mouse be held down, rather than just
    clicked as with other menus

But note that those are with the cascade menu button style, not with 
using tab-spaced sub-menus in pullDown style buttons.

Was the note from Support that they would address cascade style menus 
specifically, or with sub-menus in pullDown menus?

I sure hope it's the former, as I love using cascade styles for flyout 
menus but have had to do some funky workarounds to get the to work 
correctly.
