See BeckyEbook's post on page 2 of that thread. There is a qss stylesheet one-liner that turns off QToolTips.
I'm surprised you've never seen them. They happen on my MacBook as well, but much smaller. You must be very precise in your parking of the cursor.

Thanks for finding Becky's code (and thank you Becky for providing it). It works a treat and only took a few seconds to implement.

[edit]
Having read that thread from 2024 referenced above, I saw that there was the idea (Kevin) to reduce the 'what', 'where' and 'direction' tool-tips of the find and replace window to one-liners. I think that would be a good solution to the current invasive pop-ups.

For me, Becky's code works fine, but it removes all the tool-tips, so it is not a good solution for many users, especially new-comers because there is now no pop-up for the 6 small implementation icons at the right-hand end of the find/ replace lines. I can live with that, but probably many do rely on the tool-tips to avoid accidentally clicking the wrong icon.

Is it possible to limit the css to just the 3 fields (what, where, direction) or to reduce those pop-ups to a bare one-line description of each field's purpose without all the options?
