Bug Description

Menus aren't closed when releasing a mouse button (after a drag) outside the panel area.

1) Press with mouse left or right button over a menu without releasing it
2) Move around in the panel area opening menus and release the mouse button outside a menu

Expected behavior:
 3) The menu closes

Actual behavior:
 3) The menu doesn't close and you need another extra click in an empty area to close it

When fixing it, it's important that we don't want this to happen:

1. Drag mouse to the panel
2. Press (and release) the button in a menu
3. Move the mouse around the screen

If we leave the menu and it disappears it can get quite annoying.

So we can only make it for one-click only like Marco described.

@David Gomes nobody speaks about changing the current behavior using just the "click".

Partly fixed at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/unity/panelmenu-fixes/revision/1486

I say "partly" because now if you release the mouse over another menu (or indicator) title it won't be shown.
However this is going to be fixed in another branch.
