# shell/popover/keepOpenOverNestedPopper

## Overview

Guard for a popover's outside-interaction events so it does not dismiss when the
interaction targets a nested floating layer (a combobox or select dropdown) that portals out of
the popover's DOM subtree.

## Methods

- [keepOpenOverNestedPopper](/v3/reference/api/js/shell/popover/keepOpenOverNestedPopper/functions/keepOpenOverNestedPopper.md) - Prevent a popover's `interact-outside` (pointer/focus outside) dismissal when the originating target sits inside a nested Reka floating layer.
