Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the “Seen by” list while scrolling, then trace the tooltip behavior associated with the popover and hover-out interaction. Done means tooltips dismiss when the pointer leaves and remain within the popover during scrolling; verify the behavior in the reported Element Nightly scenario.
