Question #265665 on Sikuli changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
- at 1:
since you use Screen.mouseMove(), the mouse moves from the left-click position from before to the centre of the point denoted in the mouseMove(). If the way of the mouse (direct line between the 2 points) crosses areas outside the drop down, this usually disappears.
BTW: if ever possible, one should navigate through menus, who's content is known, using the type() function simulating navigation keys and/or shortcuts to select a menu. 

-- some mouse action during sikuli capture the screenshot.
what screenshot do you mean? 
the internally used capture function during find operations uses the Java-Robot feature, where no mouse action is  involved

at 2: How does the sikuli works?

at 3: if you ever want to look into the SikuliX code, to find out how it works, then you should use version 1.1.0 and the related code at https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX-2014.
If you want to understand sections, where native code (C++) is involved, this might cost you a few days, depending on what it is.
If you would even try this with earlier versions of Sikuli, it might cost you weeks (be sure I know, what I am talking about - I have done this and still am not at the end of the road)

So if you have questions, first ask, before looking into the code ;-)
