An Information Window does not close after changing panels on a panel selector in Express mode in MicroStrategy Web 9.4.1 HF4

SYMPTOM:
In Strategy Web 9.4.1 HF4, a panel stack can be used as an information window in Express and Flash view modes, like shown below.

After the panel stack is configured as an information window, an object such as a text box can be set to trigger the window, like shown below.

Once the information window is opened, it will close automatically when clicking anywhere outside of the window. However, if the panel stack contains a panel selector on any of the panels, the information window will not close after changing panels when run in Express view mode, like shown below.
