When it says "outside the window", it's referring to the pop-up window itself,
so you are seeing the correct behavior.
• The window cannot have a close box but is automatically closed and
the "cancel" event is passed to the window when:
• a click occurs outside the window;
• the background window or the MDI (Multiple Document
Interface) window is moved;
• the user clicks the Esc key.
