Hide the hover box when the mouse is not in the viewport

As a developer it is extremely annoying trying to get cool screenshots of my game in Studio because it is very difficult to get the hover box out of sight.

If your mouse leaves the viewport, the hoverbox stays on whatever the mouse was previously hovering over. This means if you want to hide it so you can take screenshots, you need to either fiddle your mouse around until you find a part where it is perfectly obscured, or you have to outright change its transparency in coregui.

This box should just un-adorn itself when the mouse is out of the viewport so I don’t have to waste time and effort doing this.

As a simple workaround, I usually just delete the selection box from CoreGui. It will appear again after a minute or so but it works temporarily.

@Fire540Games Thought it was worth mentioning that you can disable the Select tool (Ctrl+1) so that you don’t need to do this workaround. The original post’s solution would be great to have in addition to this.
