Nick Buchanan is correct, I think, that expected behavior would be for
the calendar applet to close in the same way other drop-down applets do.
However, the calendar is unlike other applets in that (as Textureglitch
says) it is often useful to have it open while referring to information
in other windows, which may require switching between and scrolling
through those other windows.
So, I suggest that the calendar have a dedicated button or menu item for
opening it in a window by itself, and that once that is implemented, the
drop-down calendar applet should close automatically when you click
outside it. But that would be, as Bryce Harrington suggested, a feature
quite a bit larger than a paper cut. And until that is implemented, I
think changing the current behavior would aggravate as many people as it
pleases.
(BTW, please don't use the Incomplete status unless a bug report is
missing information on how to reproduce the problem or whether it has
been fixed.)
