Problem

Hover a playground link under "Try it out", click it, and it opens in a new tab. Come back to the npmx tab and the tooltip is showing again, with the pointer nowhere near the link, and it keeps floating over the page while you scroll.

The click leaves the link focused. When the tab regains focus the browser fires focusin again, and TooltipApp shows the tooltip on any focus, so it comes back on its own. Nothing hides it afterwards unless you hover the link and leave it again.

Fix

  • Only show the tooltip on focus when the trigger matches :focus-visible. Keyboard users still get the tooltip when they tab to the element, a pointer click no longer counts.
  • Hide an open tooltip when the tab becomes hidden or the window loses focus, so it does not sit there while you are away. Those listeners are only attached while a tooltip is open.

Before / after

threejs.mp4

Tests

Added tests in test/nuxt/components/Tooltip.spec.ts for the focus behaviour and for hiding on window blur and on visibility change.

Also added a Playwright test in test/e2e/tooltip.spec.ts that runs the real browser path: hover a tooltip trigger, click it, move the pointer away, then refocus the trigger the way returning to the tab does. It fails against the code before this fix and passes after it.

pnpm lint:fix, pnpm test:types and pnpm test all pass locally.

A pointer click leaves the trigger focused, so the browser fires focusin
again when the tab regains focus and the tooltip reopens with no pointer on
it. Only show the tooltip for focus-visible triggers, and hide an open
tooltip when the tab is hidden or the window loses focus.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Tooltips now appear only when a trigger receives keyboard-visible focus, not after pointer interaction.
    • Tooltips close when the window loses focus or the page becomes hidden, and remain hidden when focus returns after pointer interaction.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for keyboard and pointer focus, tooltip dismissal on window blur and page visibility changes, and focus restoration after clicking a trigger.

The Tooltip component now opens on keyboard focus only. It hides immediately when the window loses focus, the page is hidden, or document visibility changes to hidden. Unit and end-to-end tests cover focus handling and dismissal behaviour.

Changes: Tooltip behaviour

Layer / File(s) Summary
Keyboard focus activation
app/components/Tooltip/App.vue, test/nuxt/components/Tooltip.spec.ts, test/e2e/tooltip.spec.ts
The component uses :focus-visible to accept keyboard focus and ignore other focus events. Tests cover keyboard-style focus and focus after pointer interaction.
Page focus and visibility dismissal
app/components/Tooltip/App.vue, test/nuxt/components/Tooltip.spec.ts
The component clears pending hide timers and hides on window blur, pagehide, or visibilitychange when the document is hidden. Tests cover hidden and focused document states.

Suggested reviewers: cylewaitforit

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to fe2e3

The tooltip changes prevent pointer-focus activation and dismiss open tooltips when the page loses focus or becomes hidden. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains, subject to normal checks.

Pre-merge checks: Passed 4
Check name Status Explanation

Comment thread test/nuxt/components/Tooltip.spec.ts Resolved
Covers the real Chrome behaviour the fix relies on: a pointer click focuses
the trigger without making it :focus-visible, so refocusing it must not
reopen the tooltip. Fails against the code before the fix.
The descriptor was read from Document.prototype, so cleanup re-defined the
getter as an own property on document instead of removing the stub. Read the
own descriptor so the delete path runs and document keeps its original shape.

Nitpick Add a pagehide dismissal test to the Tooltip spec.

81-84: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add a pagehide dismissal test to the Tooltip spec.

TooltipApp hides an open tooltip on pagehide. This PR adds that listener at app/components/Tooltip/App.vue:67. No test in the PR dispatches pagehide, so removing the listener leaves every added test passing. The suggested test uses the same mount helper and window dispatch pattern as the existing blur test, so it exercises the same listener registration path and fails if the listener is removed.

🧪 Suggested test
+  it('hides when the page is hidden for navigation', async () => {
+    const wrapper = await mountVisibleTooltip()
+    try {
+      window.dispatchEvent(new Event('pagehide'))
+      await nextTick()
+
+      expect(findTooltip()).toBeNull()
+    } finally {
+      wrapper.unmount()
+    }
+  })
+
   it('hides when the document becomes hidden', async () => {

Add a pagehide dismissal test to the Tooltip spec, using mountVisibleTooltip to
open the tooltip, dispatching a window pagehide event, and asserting findTooltip
returns null after nextTick. Ensure the wrapper is unmounted in a finally block,
matching the cleanup pattern in the existing blur test.
