Bug Description
I expect to be able to intercept mouse events going to an IMA by placing a MA "on top of it" and swallowing mouse events.
Unfortunately it seems it doesn’t work as I expect, it looks like the IMA is positioned on top of any other item in the application, so I can’t intercept its events. See the attached standalone example.
Note that this is causing bug #1207291 in the browser: since revision 665 in lp:ubuntu-ui-toolkit, flicking the suggestions list in the browser is impossible as it dismisses the list immediately.

Checked the bugs mentioned, and seems that we have problems with touch events (as mouse events on desktop seems to work well).
