Summary

Fixes #4221

Keyboard activation now dismisses the tooltip without hiding it while the user types into a nested text field, and a pending show timer cannot reopen the tooltip after activation.

Release Category

Components

Changes

• Check the key event target for text-entry elements while retaining the interactive wrapper check.
• Clear the pending show timer before dismissing on Enter or Space.
• Add regression tests for nested text entry and activation before the show delay.

Validation

• Before the fix, both new regression tests failed in yarn vitest run modules/react/tooltip/spec/Tooltip.spec.tsx (17 passed, 2 failed).
• After the fix, the same focused suite passed (19/19).
• yarn eslint modules/react/tooltip/lib/useTooltip.tsx modules/react/tooltip/spec/Tooltip.spec.tsx passed.
• yarn cypress:run --spec cypress/component/Tooltip.spec.tsx passed (43/43).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Tooltips now close when users press Enter or Space on interactive elements. They remain open when Space is pressed in text-entry controls.
  • Pressing Enter or Space before a tooltip appears prevents it from reopening after the show delay.
  • Wrapped keyboard event callbacks continue to run when Enter or Space closes a tooltip.

Walkthrough

useTooltip now hides the tooltip when Enter or Space is pressed on an interactive target, except when the event target is a text-entry element. Tests cover dismissal, text-entry behavior, delayed display prevention, and forwarding the keydown event to the wrapped component.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #4221 requires Enter and Space activation to dismiss the tooltip for interactive targets while preserving normal focus, blur, Escape, and pointer behavior. useTooltip adds keyboard handling, clears the pending show timer, and hides the tooltip. It excludes text-entry targets so typing in nested text fields does not dismiss the tooltip. The added tests cover Enter, Space, nested text entry, pending-show cancellation, and wrapped handler invocation.

The changes are limited to useTooltip.tsx and its tooltip tests. The implementation and tests directly support issue #4221, including the text-entry and pending-timer cases. No unrelated product behavior or files are identified.

Minor · Treat contentEditable hosts as text entry in isTextEntryElement. · useTooltip.tsx:152-164

modules/react/tooltip/lib/useTooltip.tsx:152-164
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Treat contentEditable hosts as text entry in isTextEntryElement.

A focusable contentEditable target with tabindex of 0 or more is treated as an interactive target. Space or Enter typed into it hides the tooltip. isTextEntryElement checks only textarea and input, so it does not exclude contentEditable. Typing in the editor therefore dismisses the tooltip, which the text-entry exception is meant to prevent. The tooltip stays hidden until the target is focused again or hovered again.

Suggested fix

 const isTextEntryElement = (element: Element) => {
   const tagName = element.tagName.toLowerCase();
 
+  if ((element as HTMLElement).isContentEditable) {
+    return true;
+  }
+
   if (tagName === 'textarea') {
     return true;
   }

Hi @jay23606 ! Thanks for contributing a fix to the bug I reported. Bug fixes like this need to be based on the support branch and merged back in that way. Would you mind moving your work here over to the support branch?

Thanks! Sorry for the inconvenience!

[williamjstanton]

Hi @jay23606 ! Uh oh, it looks like your branch might still be based on master and why we are seeing so many commits and 500+ changed files.

At this point, it might be best to create a fresh branch off of support and cherry-pick your commits from here, and open a clean PR. Thanks again and sorry for any inconvenience!

[williamjstanton]

Closing this one and continuing work on #4231 .
