Tooltips remain on screen

[Dave Gilbert]

Very often, a tooltip remains on the screen and won't go away. Like this:



Usually if I just go back to the script or module that the tooltip came from, the tooltip disappears. But as my project grows I often have 10-20 scripts open at once, so it takes while before I find the right one. And if I close all the scripts using "close all", then it never goes away at all unless I close and restart AGS.

Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Or if not, is there a quicker/easier way of getting rid of the permanent tooltips when they appear?

Thanks again in advance!

Workaround: usually when I "reduce" the window to the taskbar, and then bring it back up to fullscreen, the faulty tooltips go away.
It's usually Windows screwing up. But if you say that it happens often and specifically in AGS, then I'm puzzled.

[Dave Gilbert]

I've heard of that workaround, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

which OS?
tooltips are usually managed at OS level.

I'm using Windows 10, but I had that problem in previous OSes as well.

I have it sometimes too (on Win7). I really think that's another issue with Scintilla control. This control comes from its own project and AGS did not update it for many years.
