Window becomes closed after occasional mouse drag operation in File menu.

This happens very often when trying to quickly open new window or new tab using "File" menu. Looks like "Exit" option is being selected instead of New Window/New tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new window
2. Open File menu
3. Highlight "New window" option with the mouse cursor
4. Press left mouse button and drag the cursor back to "File"
5. Release the mouse button


Actual Results:  
-> Window is closed. When several tabs are open in window, active tab is closed.


Expected Results:  
Do not choose the wrong menu item.

After talking with Daniel on IRC we will reopen this bug. Seems like it is unrelated to the duped bug.
