CC @C-Lodder as author of #17050. Will 4.0 have its own version of tooltips or should Bootstrap tooltips be converted to Bootstrap popovers?

@SharkyKZ I dont know anymore. Not sure if they're being converted to custom elements or what. Best ask @ciar4n and @dgrammatiko

Use popovers if it needs html

is this still an issue ?

yes

If #24441 is accepted then the technique used there could be used here as well

PR #23944 but still debatable whether it is the right fix

Use the tooltips css from #24892

I will do that shortly

or maybe not as it relied on getting focus

Your tooltip CSS should also work for hover. Just need to include :hover....

 /* reveal associated tooltip on focus */
:focus + [role="tooltip"],
:hover + [role="tooltip"] {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 100%;
}

yes I have it working on hover but i havent been able to get focus to work - it needs focus for keyboards

At a glance, if your CSS is the same as the above then the focus should work IF the hover works.

I agree it should but it appears there is a difference between what can be focussed and hovered. I will get there in the end.

Got it

@brianteeman What ended up happening here?

see #24899
