Description
When a tooltip is placed inside a popover element, a console error is thrown when the popover is displayed, and the tooltip doesn't show when hovering over the popover:
from shiny import App, ui
app_ui = ui.page_fluid(
ui.popover(
ui.input_action_button("btn", "A button", class_="mt-3"),
ui.tooltip("A popover", "A tooltip"),
id="btn_popover",
),
)
app = App(app_ui, server=None)
Uncaught TypeError: e is null
connectedCallback tooltip.ts:90
show tooltip.js:210
_enter tooltip.js:509
setTimeout handler*_setTimeout tooltip.js:530
_enter tooltip.js:507
toggle tooltip.js:167
_setListeners tooltip.js:450
i event-handler.js:98
Is there a fix or a workaround? I need to be able to show help information for my pop-up controls.
