The link inspector does not close, and instead moves to follow your selection.

This broke in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/162495/ , which made it so contextChange is no longer emitted when the selection moves from inside a link to outside a link.

Yes, absolutely. While investigating this, I wished I had "git bisect concerning" in addition to "good" and "bad". At first, nothing was wrong, then the flicker started happening, and now it doesn't close at all.
I think this happened because Ed changed the context to reposition itself directly from events emitted by the surface. The surface also emits a contextChange event that causes the context to realize that it should close (or did; this bug is about that event not being emitted any more), but that event listener is debounced, so we close the context after moving it.
