I can confirm too. It is annoying. I can only prevent it with rightClick to top bar , selecting minimize. Or just dont minimze it and use alt+tab etc.

I hope you fix it soon.
Regards.

@legendarynacar If you allow the tooltip to fully appear before clicking minimize, it will go away. You just need to hover over the button for 1-2 seconds before clicking.

[legendarynacar]

Yeah, it works as you said. But I am not used to wait. If I want to do something I just click and do. Why do I need to wait for it. No other programs has that problem. So it means they can fix it. I do not want to wait 1-2 for each time. Actually it is a lot of time if you imagine a workflow.

[jonathansampson]

@legendarynacar We certainly aren't asking you to be okay with waiting; we will see to it that this issue is resolved in a future release. My advice was meant only as a way to handle this bug for the time being. I too minimize quickly, and often see that pesky tooltip linger.

Wanted to add that I can avoid the bubble by minimizing via taskbar button.

Because the underlying issue is in Chromium, I put together a fix we can use until that is fixed. The fix is to simply remove the tooltip. Under the hood, there is still an aria-label in the case that a screenreader is looking for information

Pull request is up here and (if approved) would be in our next release 😄
