How to get rid of orphaned tooltip windows?

(1/1)

hanshuckebein:
If you change to another editor tab, while a tooltip is displayed, the tooltip window tends to remain on the screen.

How to get rid of these orphaned tooltips?

oBFusCATed:
What tooltip? Code completion tooltip? Can you reliably reproduce this? What OS and C::B version?

hanshuckebein:
Here is an example, which hangs within the Editor Settings dialog. If you close the dialog, it hangs in the editor window on the same screen position. OS: Linux Mint 19. I can't reproduce it reliably, sorry.

The only way I know to get rid of it, is restarting CB.

oBFusCATed:
To make it disappear you need to find the editor/tab which spawned it and make it spawn another one.
I'll be happy to fix this if I can reliably reproduce it. But I don't know how.
It is quite annoying I agree. :(

hanshuckebein:
OK, I'll watch it and if I find a method to reliable reproduce it, I'll tell you how.
