Right-click Context Menu Items Remain Highlighted After Dragging Cursor Outside the Menu

[Victor Carreras]

Affected Version
      -Version: GNOME Nautilus 46.2
      -Distribution: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Steps to reproduce
      1.Right-click anywhere in Nautilus to open the context menu.
      2.Select an item in the menu and hold down the mouse button.
      3.While holding the button, drag the cursor outside of the context menu and release the mouse button.
      4.Move the cursor back into the context menu; you will see the previously selected item remains highlighted as if it is still pressed.

Expected Behavior
When the cursor is dragged outside of the context menu, the highlighted selection should be cleared as soon as the mouse button is released.

Actual Behavior
The selected item remains visually highlighted even after releasing the mouse button outside of the context menu. This behavior can be repeated for multiple items, causing them all to appear as if they are still selected.
