Collapsed menu fly-out headers should be clickable

[nacin]

When you hover over a collapsed admin menu icon, the extension of the icon is not clickable, only the submenu screens are.

This is the same behavior in 2.7 to 3.1, but I think it should be considered.

First time doing this so hope I did that right.

Still needs some tweaking, especially in older versions of IE (as usual). Also, had to use !important to get the highlighting to override so that needs to be taken care of as well. But it is a start :)

Refreshed and slightly changed the patch:

• Removed highlighting of submenu header links
• Preserved current height of submenu headers

!important is still needed, since that's the way background color is defined in color schemes:

I would prefer the header link to be clickable.

17852.diff​ is a quick-and-dirty patch. More work is going to be needed to get this right.

I tested this in Chrome, FireFox and Safari for OSX. The link of the flyout extension for each icon seems to be working fine.

I'll try to confirm the same browsers work for Windows.
