Hovercards don't disappear when mouse is moved away

When the mouse cursor is moved away from a hovercard, the card doesn't disappear. Issue found on both OSX Mavericks and OSX Yosemite.

I've seen this on Windows 10 in Chrome. I've also seen tooltips persist, though. If I mouse over to the link/element and hover again, either will go away. Minimizing everything and then clicking the window fixes the tooltip. I haven't tried it with the Hovercard.

@TheDestroyer111, do you have any ad blockers or other extensions enabled? I'm trying to reproduce the issue and am not having luck!

I only have Ghostery in the blocking genre of add-ons. I have some others, but not many and I don't see how they would conflict.

I can reproduce this bugs. It seems to have appeared only recently. But it's very troublesome as sometime you just hover a link without wanting to have more information and this popin stays here without any way to close it. Therefore I disabled it for now as it leads to more trouble than it helps me.

I'm on the last firefox version on linux, with ublock origin and disconnect extensions.

At least a close button could be a quick workaround.

Let's see if I can get some attention. I've created a task and asked the engineers to take a look into things.

Thanks! And thanks for the thanks on the other thing. :)

I've got the same issue.

I have no ad-blocking extensions. For extensions, my Chrome browser is really clean and all extensions it has are the ones installed by default (IIRC something for google docs or stuff like that).

This is the most important issue for me. Removed the feature hopefully they'll fix it.

I also have the same issue. Using Chrome last version with AdBlock on Windows 10 and Mac OS

I hadn't noticed this in previous releases of macOS Sierra and Safari, but in the current macOS Sierra Beta (10.12.3 Beta build 16D17a; Safari 10.0.3 build 12602.4.3), the Hovercards are seem to get stuck open and will close randomly.

Add-ons installed are LastPass and Pocket. No adblocking add-ons installed.
