I just jumped from first to last emails in this thread so I may have
missed a little bit ;-)

A CSM should only be visible while the mouse button is held down. Once
the mouse is released the menu closes. If the mouse was over a menu entry
that menu entry's action takes place. If the mouse cursor was outside the
menu borders nothing happens. You don't need a cancel button and CSM's
shouldn't be opened with one click and operated with another.
