This is just a special case. In basically all platforms so far it was quite
easy to find a simple way to detect, when user clicks outside of the
window, so in case particular window should be a "menu", then I could just
close it on user click outside (or OS did that automatically). Minimum
crossplatform code, which is always a good thing.
