Summary

When the Excerpt panel is open, opening the Media Library can leave the Excerpt popover above the Media Library. This can cover part of the modal and make it difficult to use.

This change moves the Excerpt popover below the Media Library only while the modal is open. The normal popover behavior is unchanged after the modal closes.
