Description

When you activate the tooltips, with the tooltips button, then it's impossible to deactivate the tooltips by clicking a second time on the tooltips button.
The only way I found to deactivate tooltips is to click on another command button (click on the measurement button for example).

Just tested on a clean Windows 7 testing VM, with a fresh 2.18.10 installation and it works as expected.

I've tried again on 7 PCs (1 PC with Windows 7 and 6 PCs with Windows 10) and I still have the problem with all of them. You'll find attached a little video which shows the problem.
Perhaps a problem of graphic card (Nvidia Quadro K3100M for the first PC, and Intel HD Iris 540 for the 6 other PCs).
Lots of my trainees and customers have the same problem. It's not a big bug, but it's just annoying.

  • File Recording #2.mp4 added

Attached a screencast of an installation where ti work as expected.

I would suggest to disable or remove any 3rd party plugin (and restart qgis), my bet the cause is one of them.
