Comment(by Richard):

 This seems pretty unfathomable. It appears that any popup-type component
 will close when there's a rollover event on the main map Canvas.

 It applies to AutoComplete (of which the tag entry fields are instances),
 but also PopUpMenus: the Background, Style and GPS menus are the same, as
 are the various dropdowns in the simple tag editors. I think this may be
 something to do with FocusManagers, but they're pretty abstruse even by
 Flex standards.

 One possibility would be to replace the current AutoComplete component (a
 modified version of Adobe's own, which in turn extends ComboBox) with
 Hillel Coren's version (http://hillelcoren.com/flex-autocomplete/ , which
 doesn't extend ComboBox). That said, the latter has a lot of "un-
 Potlatchy" behaviour which would need to be patched before we could use
 it.
