Area of problem

Describe the bug
Hovering the cursor over the "ping" icon pops up a description message, "Send a ping request to a remote station".
If you don't click on the ping icon, and move your mouse away, the pop up message goes away.
However, if you click on the ping icon, the pop up message never goes away, even if changing to another screen.
To Reproduce
On the main FD screen, hover the cursor over the "double arrow" ping icon. Click on the ping icon to initiate the ping to another station. The pop up message appears, but never goes away.
Expected behavior
The pop up message should disappear when you move the cursor away from the ping icon after clicking on the ping icon.

using firefox on desktop there is no issue. Question is, if there's another issue which occurs and prevents the popup from getting hidden. Whats the used browser, @deejdeej
Also, the Rpi 5 is running X11 (not Wayland), and I am connecting to it using VNC (RealVNC server running on the Rpi).
Oh, wait, sorry, I didn't read your description correctly. I will check tomorrow again
I pushed a update for bootstrap. Could you test after running a npm run build?
Still occurs, but if you click the pop up once it is frozen, it goes away. I vaguely remember this being an issue before the first of the major rewrites.

Definitely an improvement. Now it goes away if I click anywhere on the screen. The preference would be to go away once the cursor is moved off the icon, without having to click, but this is definitely better than not going away at all like it was before. :-)
I think the desired behaviour would be to have the pop-up disappear without having to click elsewhere on the screen, if that is possible.
There are two situations:
-
You hover the cursor over the ping icon in the heard stations list. The pop up appears. You move the cursor away from the ping icon. The pop up disappears. This seems to work well.
-
You hover the cursor over the ping icon in the heard stations list. The pop up appears. You click on the ping icon to ping the remote station. In this case the pop-up does not disappear, and you have to click elsewhere on the screen to get it to go away. The pop up should probably go away immediately when you click on the ping icon (before the actual ping starts), or alternatively when the ping finishes.
I had this issue on iPad as well. But I don't know, how to fix it or create a workaround.
It might be possible, network is causing this issue, because when clicking a button, ping for example, popups seem to be blocked. This allows moving away with cursor
It seems, we can reproduce this, when hovering over Ping, then moving cursor over textinput,
Just an FYI, this bug is still present in 0.17.7-beta, and clicking elsewhere on the screen now does not make it go away like it used to do.
Maybe add an option to disable the pop-up messages completely? The interface is easy enough to use that most folks probably don't need the help tips after using it a few times.
