popover: Popover steals back focus much later than expected

[ieedan]

Describe the bug

For some reason the popover will steal back focus much later than expected after closing. The timing of it seems to be ~150ms

I have a command nested in a popover and I set the open for the popover to false when an option in selected. I then set a timeout on the onSelect event to focus the next input but then I get the below behavior.

P.S. I tried to upgrade to the latest version of bits and the searching for the command completely broke for this component like typing the value of something completely correctly wouldn't result in that item being shown in any case the above issue persisted.
