This happens when the link anchor moves under the static cursor - e.g. when scrolling with the mouse wheel, which I do all the time. Then the pop-up will not go away if the mouse is moved, however large the movement. The pop-up will stay until it times out (or a click or ESC).

I think this is the mechanism for the majority of the inadvertent pop-ups in my case, although there may be other contexts. In any case, I am going to try to disable pop-ups entirely (perhaps the timeout could be set to zero?)

That is annoying, but there is nothing we can do about tgat, as the
system fails to give us any notification it is supposed to give us.

I see.  So it IS a bug but a timing one?  Sometimes I act so fast that
the OS cannot report to Skim quickly enough to turn it off?

(I have known about this for a while but hadn't gotten around to
reporting it.)
