Oh. I have seen this behaviour in other programs, recently mostly in Cisco AnyConnect. I always thought this an OS glitch.

- yipbub 3y agoYeah, I imagined the same, but can't recall or reproduce in anything else now. Possibly a Mandela Effect?
- theanonymousone 3y agoI'm pretty sure the Cisco one is permanent and reproducible (on macOS) :D
- alana314 3y agoFinder does it to me all the time
- kaichanvong 3y agohad a feeling Finder did magic too; however, on changing focus into the Shortcuts App, revealed Quick Actions that baffles
- unnah 3y agoI see it a lot with Windows Explorer and Microsoft Word, never with Firefox, even though I use all of them daily on my work laptop. It seems people have so different usage patterns that they see completely different bugs...
- ale42 3y agoAltium Designer used to have the exact same issue for a very long time but I think it's finally gone some time ago
- wakeupcall 3y agoIt's pretty easy to see why this behavior can come from programs that's don't use any standard OS toolkits, but go for custom or cross-platform solutions: - show the tooltip - rely on move events on the main window to hide it the move events are usually received only when the window is visible (and focused depending on the os), unless you take extra measures to grab the pointer and/or listen on global events, which involves more trickery to work right. It's the classic scenario where a decent system toolkit has this figured out and solved for you, while doing the same by hand looks somewhat easy and normally works 95% of the time, but fails in odd ways and drives your power users crazy. Driving UIs heavily by keyboard and shortcut is the sure-way to hit that remaining 5% all the damn time nowdays...
