Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)


Description

The current tooltip implementation didn't cover screenreader usage. Since the tooltip was removed from the DOM while it was not visible. This new implementation adds a tooltip text element that's always in the DOM and can be read out by the screenreader.

What should be covered while testing?

  • The sr-only tooltip text should never be visible
  • The tooltip should work as it did before
  • When navigating the page with the screenreader, it should read out the tooltip text if it's on interactive elements.
