Visual Explain persistent tooltips

[Marty850]

Development environment where the bug occurred

• Db2 Developer Extension version: 2.2.4
• Editor platform
  • Visual Studio Code
  • Eclipse Theia
• Editor platform version: 1.111.0
• Operating system on which your editor runs (for example, Windows 10 2004 or MacOS Catalina 10.15.7): Windows 11 (10.0.26100.7840)
• Java Version (Run java -version and paste the details here): 17.0.17
• Db2 for z/OS version (including function level for Db2 12): V13R1M507
• Log files attached?: No

Problem description

In the Visual Explain window you can hover over the access-path-information and a tooltip is displayed. In the past this tooltip disappears when you leave the object with the cursor. Now to tooltip remains open and there is no way to close it. In big access paths it's almost impossible to navigate now.

Is this a known bug or is there any workaround for it?

While the team investigate. Short term relief is to disable tool tip:
