Keep the hover popup open while the user interacts with it

Selecting text inside the popup closed it: the selection drag captures
the pointer, so sweeping past the popup edge fired the content's
PointerExited with IsPointerOver already false. The close veto now
covers pointer-over, keyboard-focus-within (so a finished selection
survives for Ctrl+C, as the WPF tooltip did), and pointer capture held
inside the popup; only a document change force-closes.
