No escape from reactions dialogue box

I clicked on "react" on an answer on Codidact Meta and found that the only available reaction is "Outdated", which I don't want to use. There doesn't appear to be any way to close the dialogue box without adding a reaction, other than refreshing the page. There is no obvious close button and clicking on other parts of the page leaves the box open. Pressing escape also leaves the box open.

Since this question was posted, the user interface has been updated so that clicking outside a pop up panel makes the panel disappear. This means a new user unfamiliar with the site will now be able to dismiss panels easily, so this is no longer a problem.

Hi. I want to test this bug without bothering anybody else. Could you reply to this comment? Thanks.

I initially tested this with a couple of previous (already read) notifications, without first marking them unread. I've now used your notification from this comment thread to test with an unread notification (first navigating to this thread page manually, and only then clicking on the unread notification that links to this same page). I still see the same behaviour (panel stays open until I click elsewhere on the page). This depends on the initial page being this comment page (not the question or answer page that the comment thread is a child of).

Here's a ping so you can see if it still differs on your machine.

Have you also tried with a notification that is already read (without marking it unread) for comparison?

Ah! I must have done something wrong before; I'm now seeing the behavior you're reporting.
