Chrome UI Bug: Menu doesn't disappear on mouse leaving

I have noticed - after several accidental window closings - that Chrome's menu (the one called up by the hamburger icon) leaves the last-moused-over menu item selected even after the mouse leaves the menu entirely. This means that when I accidentally hold down the mouse on the hamburger icon and take the mouse off the menu before releasing the button, I'm probably going to activate some item, and since I tend to drag down, that's usually Exit.

Note that normal Windows menus don't have this infelicity - dragging off the menu and releasing just causes the menu to disappear. I wish Chrome obeyed that convention.
