Description
OS: Windows 10
Bug description and reproducing:
When the cursor is placed at the end of a curly brace, a tooltip pops up to show the function name.
Now if you have a tooltip visible on any tab, then you switch to another tab, the tooltip stays on the screen.
You can cascade tooltips with this bug, by leaving the cursor at the end of a function brace, and switching to another tab. The tooltips stack with this bug
Contributor guide
Research direction
Run Arduino IDE 1.x on Windows 10 and reproduce the tooltip behavior by placing the cursor at the end of a curly brace, then switching tabs with the tooltip visible. Trace the tooltip and tab-switch lifecycle in the IDE UI; done means a tooltip from one tab is dismissed when switching tabs and tooltips no longer stack.
