Description
The (very helpful) TypeScript hover popups are getting stuck open. This doesn't happen every time, but often enough (maybe once every 5 minutes or so) to be really annoying. The only way to get rid of them once they get into this state seems to be to close the entire window (or quit sublime text completely): they persist through scrolling, clicking, pressing escape, and even closing the tab. See the video capture below:
I'm running the latest ST4 build (4088) if that is relevant.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the stuck TypeScript hover popups in Sublime Text 4 using the linked capture as a reference. Trace the plugin's hover-popup handling and dismissal behavior; the issue is done when popups reliably close after scrolling, clicking, Escape, or closing the tab without restarting Sublime Text.
