So I decided to play with the actions popup and came up with an interesting solution to having to CLICK the mouse to get it to close
in the file templates/base/short_profile_info.html
AFTER THIS LINE
</bx_if:profile_status_cond>
ADD THIS
<script type="text/javascript">
$( "#short_profile_info" ).hover(
function(){
//alert('mouse enter');
},
function(){
$( "#short_profile_info" ).fadeOut('4000', function(){});
}
);
</script>
