 Steps to reproduce:
 1. click "Help" to open a contextual help panel
 2. scroll
 3. click "Help" to close the panel; note that it does not close
 4. click "Help" again; note that it does close this time

 This is annoying for the user--can this be solved so that it only takes
 one click to close the contextual help after scrolling?

 In our plugin, we are using enough contextual help on one page that you
 have to scroll to reach the "Help" button (#contextual-help-link") to
 close it again.

 Further notes: I have a live expression for document.activeElement in the
 console. On the first attempt to close the section, the
 document.activeElement shows:

 {{{
 button#contextual-help-link.button.show-settings.screen-meta-active
 }}}


 on the second, click it shows:


 {{{
 button#contextual-help-link.button.show-settings
 }}}

 More info:
