Bug Description

Actual Behavior

User can not move the cursor to the tooltip content easily since it's closing way too early

Expected Behavior

We should enable users to move the cursor to the tooltip content without a fight, it is useful cases like if they want to copy-paste the content or tooltip has a link.

I was just about to report the same issue 🙂 even when passing closeDelay to prevent the tooltip from disappearing immediately, it will still disappear even if the user is hovering over it:

There was a previous instance of this issue in #9464, but it seems to have regressed (possibly in #9845).

dropdown and tooltip are bit different UX patterns IMO so maybe if you need that copy / actionable functionality you should look for some different pattern instead of toolltip.

anyways ATM only "mitigation" is to use closeDelay property with reasonable time for you particular UI flow.

@Hotell , as mentioned by @kycutler, closeDelay doesn't mitigate this. It still closes when delay is over even if the cursor is still on the tooltip content.
