## Message

```
editor: Immediately cancel popover task if the hover ends before the popover is shown (#53168)

Hover popovers aren't immediately dismissed when the hover ends, but
this delay mechanism is currently causing popovers to sometimes still
briefly appear when the hover lasted too short to have triggered it.
Fixed by immediately cancelling the popover task when the hover ends
before the popover is displayed.

Most easily reproduced when setting the hover popover delay to a value
lower than the default 300ms (but it still happens sometimes with the
default value), because the popover hide delay is also 300ms. Here's it
with `"hover_popover_delay": 200`:
