What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019dd576-6594-70b1-9371-aab6dbf9de56
- queue up codex such that the 'steer' button is shown for some queued text input
- scroll to right edge of window -- observe the stupid dialogue box
3 while dialogue box is shown the steer button is not clickalble
What is the expected behavior?
Both 2 and 3 above are not expected behavior -- instead i wouldn't have random popovers and I would continue to be able to click buttons in the ui normally

I don't like any mouseover popups and would like to show "Branch details" by mouse click on button or disable it at all.
