I've done some initial investigation and it appears that the "popuphidden" event is not fired when switching tabs, even though the popup does indeed get hidden when switching tabs. [1]

I don't know enough about how our popups work to even know where to look unfortunately.

Moving to p3 because no activity for at least 1 year(s).
