Sorry if this was already mentioned, but this "feature" drives me nuts.
I do understand the reason for this from the developer point of view and why it is still there historically, but as a user I do literally hate this feature every time I open the galaxy map.
It is currently very difficult or almost impossible to move a mouse over the galaxy map without triggering a hover pop-up. I see that it is could be difficult to click on a star, but then please(!) highlight the near star and show the popup on click and not select the near star on mouse over. I do not want the star to be selected in 99% of cases my mouse is over it.
It is also just really bad user experience when you are trying to move you mouse to click a button in the current Pop-Up and this button just disappears [where is it] because your mouse somehow traveled over a star that is 100ly away/behind from your current selection and triggered a new pop-up. I can not count how many times this happened to me in all those years.
System Map suffers from the same problem btw. but there are significantly fewer objects to mouse over.
Than you and sorry for the rant. [blah]
