Description

Describe the bug
The expected behaviour for a Mega Menu-style navigation menu is that if I click anywhere else on the page, the menu closes.

To Reproduce
Open a Mega Menu, try to close it by clicking anywhere on the screen

Expected behavior
The Mega Menu should close

I'd appreciate a hint on how to work around this using JS...

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Mega Menu behavior in the browser and locating the Mega Menu component entry point in the repository. Trace how the menu opens and handles clicks outside it; done means clicking elsewhere on the page reliably closes the menu.
