What happened?

When the menu is open, if you scroll down the application grid/list then click above the menu, it will launch the app that would be there if the menu was that large, despite the cursor not being within the menu. Hovering the cursor above the menu will also show tooltips if they are turned on.
As for the category list, if there are enough categories and you scroll down until some are outside the menu, clicking/hovering the cursor above the menu will switch the application grid/list to that category.

The expected behaviour is that hovering anywhere outside the menu should show nothing and clicking anywhere outside the menu should close it.
