Moving the menu in a way to pre-select an item would be a bad idea. Then we would need to deactivate that workflow I just described, which would add an extra click for menu invocation. Therefore, the menu must not be opened underneath the mouse cursor to avoid that extra mouse-up/mouse-down while interactive with the menu.
