Retain Library/Boards Manager installation interface following version menu selection

[per1234]

Describe the request

Find some way to retain the installation interface of the target item when using the version menu in Library Manager and Boards Manager.

🙂 Library and Boards Manager will be easier and more pleasant to use.

Describe the current behavior

The IDE's Library Manager and Boards Manager list the available libraries and boards platforms.

When the mouse pointer is hovered over one of the list items, an "INSTALL" button as well as a version menu for items that have multiple releases are added at the bottom of the item.

The version menu is a dropdown, which overlaps the next item on the list. This means that the mouse pointer is hovering over the coordinates of the next item when selecting a different version from the menu.

🙁 After selecting a version from the menu, the installation interface of the target item is lost and the installation interface for the next item on the list opens instead. Even though I am very experienced using the IDE, I still find myself accidentally installing the wrong library or simply feeling confused by the unexpected change in the interface when I use this menu. This makes me suspect that it will be a poor user experience for those who are less experienced.
