ContextMenu: Hide the menu when the user clicks somewhere else on the page
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-8008
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8008
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: component-menu
         Environment: tested using firefox3.5 on osx and internet explorer 8 on winxp
            Reporter: Peter Baum
            Priority: Minor


Description of current behavior:
The RichFaces ContextMenu component correctly hides the context menu after a certain hideDelay (as documented here http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/3.3.1.GA/en/tlddoc/richfaces/contextMenu.html). But the menu does not hide before the delay when the user clicks somewhere else on the page.

Problem:
In user testing, we found that many users expect the menu to disappear when they click on an empty spot somewhere on the page. But they find this does not work as expected.

Suggested improvement:
Provide a way so that a context menu is automatically hidden when the user clicks somewhere else on the page (i.e. when the user clicks any html element that is not associated with the menu)
