If an object is on the screen and you have MouseEntered() perform an action to make another screen object appear (such as a description) but clicking would cause the initial object to disappear, the description would not disappear with it.
Example Script:
            TacticianChoice
                icon = 'Tactician.dmi'
                icon_state = "TT"
                screen_loc = "CENTER-2,CENTER+2"
                var/class = "Tactician"
                var/description = "<font style='color:#00b8ff;font-weight:bold;font-size:11px;text-align:left;' valign='top'>Tactician: </font>"
                Click()
                    if(istype(usr, /mob/attackable/player))
                        var/mob/attackable/player/p = usr
                        if(p.SoldierSetup)
                            var/Soldier/soldier = p.SoldierSetup
                            soldier.class = src.class
                        p.ChooseSoldierClass()

                MouseEntered()
                    if(istype(usr, /mob/attackable/player))
                        var/mob/attackable/player/p = usr
                        var/obj/ScreenObjects/SquadScreen/ChoiceDescription/cD = p.ChoiceDescription
                        cD.maptext = src.description

                MouseExited()
                    if(istype(usr, /mob/attackable/player))
                        var/mob/attackable/player/p = usr
                        var/obj/ScreenObjects/SquadScreen/ChoiceDescription/cD = p.ChoiceDescription
                        cD.maptext = ""


maptext is not set back to "".

If you need a demo, let me know. I'll try to produce one.

If the object is just vanishing, you're not really moving your mouse off of it, and since it's vanished, there's nothing to cause the trigger. You can call MouseExited() manually, however.

The funny thing is, it does this for us in DS. But not WebClient.

This probably also means that the obj moving won't trigger it. I can understand why: DS has some code as I recall to force mouse hit updates in these cases. With our StageXL setup this might be harder to do.
