On Commons it seems to take 5 seconds to disappear which is too long as at this point I'm wondering how to dismiss it. A good ui pattern would be for it to fade out over those 5 seconds to show me what is happening and when I hover over it go back to no transparency to signal that it will fade automatically and I need to move my mouse over it to stop this.
FWIW I think clicking anywhere outside the box should make it disappear.
