When performing an upgrade to the latest version of Wijmo (5.20241.9) for our Angular application our team noticed a strange bug involving tooltips that use the Wijmo Tooltip class, where rendered tooltips would sometimes get ‘stuck’ and would be permanently visible on the screen, and were not able to be removed. These tooltips are still visible in the DOM, as well as in the browser itself, and cannot be removed even by navigation or closing the dialog that was displaying them, only disappearing when refreshing the page directly.
This issue appears to be exaggerated by consistent interaction with an element that has a tooltip attached to it, such as a button within a dialog that is causing DOM changes (introducing new elements, opening dialogs etc.).
I have confirmed that this is an issue that is only present in the latest Wijmo version (5.20241.9), and is not present on the previous version we were using (5.20232.939), as i am not able to trigger it when downgrading.
When attempting to create a reproducible case for this support thread, I was unsuccessful in replicating the issue via just stackblitz, however this issue can only be caused by the Wijmo upgrade, as when downgraded and upgraded in isolation (i.e no other changes aside from the Wijmo version used), the issue appears (in latest) and disappears (in prior). I have created a stackblitz with an example of how we are using the Tooltip class to showcase our usecase/issue, which you can find here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-nuymjo?file=src%2Fmain.ts
Has this most recent Wijmo update made any changes to Tooltip behaviour that might cause this issue? Is there anything we appear to be doing wrong that might cause these tooltips to get stuck?
