Details:

after hovering over an item in a nested menu that has a tooltip that goes outside the main window, moving the cursor anywhere else closes the nested menu

my repro example is based on the latest commit on the docking branch (as of writing), but i have encountered this issue in 1.91.6-docking and 1.90.6-docking (and a few earlier docking versions but i don't remember which)

i also think this has been reproduced outside of sdl/opengl with dxgi/dx11 but i can't confirm that

this is not an issue on the non-docking branch, the tooltip is just cut off in that case

What’s your SDL version?
What’s your window manager? Do you have a feature enabled to focus windows on hover?

[briaguya-ai]

What’s your SDL version?

2.30.10 (from debian sid repos)

libsdl2-2.0-0/unstable,now 2.30.10+dfsg-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  Simple DirectMedia Layer

libsdl2-dev/unstable,now 2.30.10+dfsg-1 amd64 [installed]
  Simple DirectMedia Layer development files

What’s your window manager?

GNOME Wayland

Do you have a feature enabled to focus windows on hover?

I don't think so, unless it is a default I'm not aware of.

I also want to emphasize that this is not a Linux/Wayland/GNOME specific issue, I know @Archez has encountered this on macOS and @Malkierian has encountered it on Windows

[PathogenDavid]

FWIW, I cannot reproduce this on Windows. Do they see this issue with your specific repro?

[Malkierian]

I used to be able to reproduce on Windows, but I no longer can, on DX11 or OGL.
