jquery-ui Tooltip stays visible if it's target element is removed by clicking it

When used in a button, that removes itself (e.g. in list of labels or filters), the tooltip stays on screen when the target is removed: https://jsfiddle.net/wcv2km68/

It goes on the body tag by default.... check the app for target and position, then code appropriately...

Thanks for the report. Does the issue you describe exist when jQuery UI 1.12.1 is used or only with jQuery UI 1.13.0 or newer?

Same problem with 1.12.1 Maybe mousedown should be added as tracked close event

Thanks for the report. Since the issue is already in 1.12, given limited team resources it's not likely to be fixed by the UI team; see the project status at https://blog.jqueryui.com/2021/10/jquery-maintainers-update-and-transition-jquery-ui-as-part-of-overall-modernization-efforts/. PRs are welcome if they're not too complex.
