Bug Advocacy:

In general, drop down menu will disappear on clicking on any other area of page which has no hypertext or hyperlink. In this case, the toggle poped up does not close/collapse/disappear on clicking any area which is not hypertext or hyperlink.

User has to make a click again on icon-recorder or dropdown-toggle, to close the toggle. From this behavior, user has to make one more click to close the dropdown-toggle and this is not suitable practice for usability and user experience.

Anu, thanks for reporting this bug! I can confirm we would like for the user menu to collapse when you click outside of it.
