On any post here in Meta, when clicking on the reactions/likes count, it shows the popup of the users who voted, before closing very quickly.
This seems to be different from last tume, where the popup will remain open until the user clicks out of it.
AI-generated summary
Users reported a bug where the popup showing who liked/reacted to a post on Meta closes too quickly after clicking the reactions count, affecting both mobile and desktop. NateDhaliwal and Richie described the issue, with Richie providing screen recordings showing the popup closing after one second on iOS Safari and macOS Safari. David identified the issue may be linked to a recent Discourse update, possibly caused by a tweak intended to fix issues on Windows touchscreens. j.jaffeux confirmed a fix was submitted and deployed on Meta within an hour, which Richie confirmed resolved the issue.

It could be related to the recent update of Discourse.
It seems to be working as normal for me. Can you share a screen recording?
Also, what OS/browser you’re using? If you’re using a Windows computer: does it have a touch screen?

I just came here to report this bug too, seems @NateDhaliwal beat me to it 
There are two scenarios.
On mobile, click on reactions and the summary table is only visible for 1 second before closing.
On desktop, it stays open - but only if your cursor stays hovering over it. If you click on the reactions and move your mouse away it also closes in 1 second, like it does on mobile.
This is only occurring after I updated my Discourse this morning and like @NateDhaliwal I can also replicate here on meta.
I’m currently running 3.5.0.beta1-dev (cbe9a9f33b).

Have you been able to repro, @David ?
Yup - thanks for the details! We had reports recently about issues on Chrome 133 on windows devices with touchscreens. So we made this tweak.
It helped those devices, but it looks like it’s had other side-effects which weren’t intended. We’ll look into it!

Just a quick note, the desktop behaviour is the same on mobile. Pressing and holding on the reactions leaves the popup it open.

Thanks @david
Thanks for the report!
I think that should fix it:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse-reactions/pull/347
Should be deployed on meta in about one hour. Thanks!
