Attempting to mouse over Quick Answer feedback window dismisses feedback window

bert

When using Quick Answer, there is an info icon on the right that lets you give feedback. Due to the positioning of this window and the empty space between it and the info icon — there is a small gap between them — if you move your mouse slowly from the button to the window, the window disappears (because you've briefly stopped hovering over it or the info icon). The only way to get it to work is to time it so that your mouse cursor is over the window by the time it's finished animating into existence.

Possible solutions:

Make the region between the info icon and the window not count as “background” for the purpose of detecting whether the cursor has left the region of interest
Add a small timeout to hiding the window
Take mouse velocity into account when determining whether to hide the window

I search something.
I click on Quick Answer.
I hover on the i icon to rate it, a tool tip appears (with an animation too fast for my liking tbh).
I move my cursor towards the tool tip.
The tool tip disappears as soon as I mouseExit from the i icon.

When I hover on the i icon and then move my cursor to the tool tip, it should stay open and not disappear.

I watched @bert 's video and that's what's happening on my end.
