Description

Describe the bug

Tooltip's content field is documented as being of type ReactNode. However, when passing it one, all you get is the infamous string "[object Object]".

Research direction

Confirm the behavior with a ReactNode value and trace the component entry point responsible for rendering it. Done means ReactNode content renders as intended instead of being converted to "[object Object]".
