Have a way to prevent users from clicking on a link when they click outside of the dropdown menu

Description

From that feedback.

When you click outside of the dropdown menu to close it, there is a risk you click on [revert] by accident which can be problematic.
Have a way to prevent that would be very helpful.

We could intercept all clicks in the results area while the menu is open, and make it so that the first click closes the menu but doesn't do anything else (like revert an edit). You'd have to click a second time to hit the revert button. That's probably pretty easy to do with an overlay.

Checked in betalabs - the fix works exactly as @Catrope:
