I can't see much but I know that when I have seen things done like this
before, the menu is moved "offscreen" until hover.  Then it moves it
back into the right position.

Just to add to this: this is done because using display:hidden; will
also hide the elements from screen readers. So, using left:-2000px; or
something will "hide" the element visually but still keep it
accessible to assistive devices.
