Can't click on name or title links on IMDbPro because of the popup info bubble

Background: IMDbPro pops up an info bubble when you hover your mouse over a name or title link on most pages.

Problem: You can no longer click on a name or title link on most IMDbPro pages once the info bubble opens.

Work-around 1: You can click on name or title links before the info bubble pops up
Work-around 2: You can click on the name or title link inside the pop up bubble

This change seems recent to me, and should be reverted.  The ability to click on a linked name or title shouldn't be removed just because an info bubble pops up.  (it worked correctly for many years)

Win10Pro, Firefox v78.0.1 or Edge v83.0.478.61

Someone changed this post from "Problem" to "Idea".  This is not an Idea, this is a big problem!  You can't click on any names or titles on IMDbPro, unless you do so in under 1 second, or move your mouse to click on a secondary link that pops up near the link you are trying to click on.

Example page, can't click on almost 20 links. I've placed a red mark next to each link that is no longer clickable. (unless you're really fast)
