It seemed to me that it was not clear (from the name) whether we were 
consuming the events which caused autohide or some autohide notification 
events (there is the onAutoHide event handler property in PopupWindow 
which usually implies the existence of a specific auto hide notification 
event).

described below. But will need to check to be sure.

I can't help here. Maybe Artem can provide some estimate. The issue 
should definitely have "Fix Version" specified.
