Feature request: close on scrolling away #10

Feature Request

It would be really useful if the menu would close itself when the user starts scrolling down. For example, this scenario:

  1. User opens a dropdown
  2. User starts to scroll down the page without closing the menu
  3. The menu closes itself because the user started scrolling away without clicking on anything.

Thanks for the feature request @ajplopez. This is an interesting idea. I could imagine wanting this feature in some very specific instances. However I would want to confirm with some very careful user testing that 1) that is actually a problem, and 2) the solution is more helpful than harmful.

I do not plan to implement this. One of the fundamental principles that lead me to click-triggered menus is that they operate explicitly and solely on intentional user interaction. Closing menus as a side-effect of another user interaction goes against that principle.

Luckily, this is a totally open source tool, so I hope you can take this script and modify it however you see fit.
