Created attachment 172164 [details] Screencast of problematic hint behavior In Calc, start typing a formula in Formula bar, and have a hint from AutoInput to appear. At this point, switch to another application. The hint does not disappear, but stays on top of the active window; click on it brings Calc back to front. Tested with Version: 7.1.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1 CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (ru_RU); UI: en-US Calc: threaded.
In openSuse 15.2 I also see something similar where if Calc is in the background behind another window the tool tips will popup over the active window. It seems to happen randomly. Its been going on for a long time over multiple versions, but it was never annoying enough to report it. I just got in the habit of leaving Calc closed until i needed it (not a solution). In my case mousing over the tool tip would make it disappear. I never tried clicking on it. Currently i have LibreOffice 7.1.1.2 10(Build:2) and KDE 5.71.0 Plasma 5.18.6
Mike: I'm not seeing this in Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 3a05acb8f0d94728ea6cbfd7a69dac6ffa7ffc68 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Jumbo (In reply to Eric from comment #1) > In openSuse 15.2 I also see something similar where if Calc is in the > background behind another window the tool tips will popup over the active > window.

Sorry, I made a mistake and Áron corrected me just now. I see the problem when using the formula bar.
Can be reproduced using VCL plugin gen as well. It's also a regression starting from the following commit, bibisected using repo bibisect-win64-7.1.
