Hi,

 I myself dont like auto-pops ;),

 firstly -- as already said -- one dont know, what is under the cursor
 after it pops up and 

 secondly (this is why I dislike auto-pops most) nothing is more
 confusing and annoying as items suddenly popping into existence by
 accidently moving the cursor beyond a certain "border".

 
 Kind regards,
 Meino
