Bug description:

Hi,

We have a need for the popover to have a dynamically working autoClose property. Currently looking at the ngbootstrap, the autoClose value is being used only during the opening of the popover. However, we have the use case where some action means that the popover can temporarily not be closed for the popover that is currently being displayed. An example use case is if some action inside the popover triggers a server call, and we want to keep the popover open with a small spinner in the corner until the server response is returned.

Cheers,
Tom.

@janwidmer-work I think your issue and corresponding solution shared doesn't really address the problem noted here.

Please checkout this stackblitz example - Link

Even after updating the auto_close setting the popover doesn't dynamically update how it should work

@shyamal890 It seems to work, but you need to close the popover once after clicking on the button "Toggle AutoClose" in the case it was open, when you clicked "Toggle AutoClose"

Yes, I agree but that's the point once the popover is opened and if I change auto_close it should update how popover works. This shouldn't require closing and opening the popover again. I have already pushed a PR that solves this issue.
