Description Szymon Brandys CLA 2011-12-07 11:56:19 EST 
I think it would be handy to close slideouts if I clicked outside of it. Susan mentioned that it will be hard to copy/paste text from outside to slideout then. Anyway something we could discuss.

another "con" of closing it is that we use a URL to open the page in slideout state and if it's too easy to dismiss, the user may cancel it.

We probably need more experience using it, and more feedback here...

To me it feels like it should be stickier than a tooltip, which typically closes when clicking elsewhere. This feels more like an expanded form element that is sticky until explicitly closed. Anyway we now have a more general bug on when slideout should close so I'm going to dup this.
