Subject: [PATCH] fix(dashboard): don't close Properties when a text selection
 ends on the backdrop

Drag-selecting the path or UID in the properties dialog and releasing over
the dimmed backdrop closed the dialog: the click lands on the overlay when
press and release are on different elements. The backdrop now closes it
only when the press started there, as the share dialog already does.
