Identify Button in Pro

In the current version of Pro 2.2.2 if I click on a feature on a map that can be identified, a pop-up appears with information about that feature.  Now if I click on the map where no feature appears the pop-up box disappears.  In Pro version 2.1.0 if I had a feature identified and then went to a location where there was no identifiable feature the pop-up would still have the contents from the previously identified feature instead of being blank (This is definitely undesirable, but at least the pop-up window stays open as I would expect from using ArcMap).  If I use identify in ArcMap where I have a feature identified and then click on the map where no feature exists, the pop-up goes blank which is what I am used to and is telling me the software performed a query and returned no results.

The functionality of ArcMap makes the most sense to me as the Identify tool is telling me that nothing is selected to be identified, as opposed to Pro 2.2.2 where the pop-up disappears completely so I'm unsure what the software is doing as there is no feedback.

I'm just curious how users of Pro feel about the operation of the Identify tool compared to ArcMap

I still think there are split opinions on the new Identify tool.  Have you seen these posts?

At 2.2 you can dock the pop-up which means it will remain open even if you click on empty space.
