Description

Instead, I would expect the tooltip to disappear once I hit "enter". See video: The tooltip remains for 5 seconds, instead of disappearing once the function Sys.sleep() is started.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Positron 2024.07.0 on Windows using a console function such as Sys.sleep(), then inspect the console argument-tooltip entry point and its dismissal behavior. Done means the tooltip disappears when Enter starts execution rather than remaining until the call finishes.
