Update close mechanism to hover cards

Description

I was editing https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Git%2FNew+repositories%2FRequest+preload&editintro=Git%2FNew+repositories%2FRequest+preload+intro&summary=&nosummary=true&prefix=&minor=&section=new&title=Git%2FNew+repositories%2FRequests%2FEntries&create=Request, and I find that the page preview popup above do not get closed and obstruct me from editing the page.

If we have a close button too in the popup, it would be easy to close it down when such a worst case happen.

@Vibhabamba, should I use an icon from the OOjs UI set and add it alongside the settings cog?

@Vibhabamba showed me some UI mock ups for this over Hangouts. She should be adding them here soon.

No mock ups were added. I don't remember what @Vibhabamba had shown me. Should we just added a close button near the settings icon, floated to the right?

There are usually two other ways in which dialogs like this traditionally should always disappear.

  1. Click outside of the dialog
  2. Hit the escape key

Would be interesting to see if a blocked dialog as described reacts to any of these triggers.

  • Hitting the escape key

Per resources/ext.popups.renderer/desktopRenderer.js this is already implemented. But according to the comments on this video showing it stuck hitting Esc doesn't help.

According to that video it doesn't.

The hovercards shouldn't get stuck so going out of hover state should be enough. We are tracking that issue in T92932. However we don't think the hovercards should show in the editor as this is distracting and not adding much value - T144545.

We thus have no plans to allow escaping via close icon or escape.
