Preview disappears if mouse moves onto it
 
Bug
This happens especially much on the site-wide recent changes page with cards with long names. It ought to be easy to make the preview for Card X not disappear if the mouse is over that preview itself.

fixed

Fixed, because I was rolling out a security patch and happened to also have a fix for this in my sandbox.

I'm not sure if you were familiar with how the site displays on touch screen devices. Before the latest update, clicking on a mouse-over caused the preview to pop up. Clicking the link again caused you to open the page. To close a preview, you could click on another preview link or click on the preview itself. With this update, clicking the preview image doesn't do anything. I suppose that was the point, but I wanted you to know how it worked in other formats.

I concur - clicking on a preview (or on the background) probably should dismiss it. It's a bit too hard to get rid of, now.

Hmm. On my Android, just tapping a link does make the preview appear, but it also follows the link (so the preview doesn't usually get time to appear).

But I should remember that previews are harder to do on most mobile devices. My Android has a stylus that supports hover, so I get previews via actual hovering; I should remember that most people don't get that :)

I'll see if I can make clicks on previews dismiss them (if you're not clicking on an active part, that is. There currently aren't any active parts, but the plan is for there to be some soon.)
