Closes #949


Root Cause

The mouseout handler on [data-fsdocs-tip] trigger elements always hid the tooltip as soon as the mouse left the trigger, including when the mouse moved into the tooltip popover. This made it impossible for users to hover over the tooltip to select or copy the type signature text — a common need when working with complex F# types.

Fix

docs/content/fsdocs-tips.js:

  1. In the existing trigger mouseout handler, added a check: if relatedTarget is inside the tooltip element, skip hiding (the user is entering the tooltip).
  2. Added a new mouseout handler on .fsdocs-tip[popover] that hides the tooltip when the mouse leaves the tooltip itself, but not if it returns to the trigger element.

docs/content/fsdocs-default.css:
3. Added cursor: text and user-select: text to div.fsdocs-tip:popover-open so users get a visual cue that tooltip text is selectable.

Behaviour after fix

  • Hovering over a code token shows the tooltip as before.
  • Moving the mouse into the tooltip keeps it open — users can now select and copy the text.
  • Moving the mouse out of both the trigger and the tooltip hides it.
  • Moving from the tooltip back to the trigger keeps it open.

Changes

  • docs/content/fsdocs-tips.js — JS logic for interactive tooltip hover
  • docs/content/fsdocs-default.csscursor: text + user-select: text on open tooltip
  • RELEASE_NOTES.md — changelog entry

Test Status

⚠️ Infrastructure: dotnet build fails with "Creating directory" errors in the CI runner environment — this is a pre-existing sandbox limitation (obj/ directory creation fails), not caused by my changes. The changed files are pure JavaScript and CSS; they contain no compiled .NET code.

Previous CI runs on similar JS/CSS-only changes have passed in the actual GitHub Actions environment. The logic has been manually verified by reading the event flow.

…t/copy text

The mouseout handler on [data-fsdocs-tip] trigger elements was hiding
the tooltip whenever the mouse left the trigger, even if it was moving
INTO the tooltip popover. This made it impossible to select or copy
text from the tooltip.

Fixes:
1. Trigger mouseout handler now checks if relatedTarget is inside the
   tooltip element, and skips hiding in that case.
2. New mouseout handler on .fsdocs-tip[popover] hides the tooltip when
   the mouse leaves the tooltip itself (unless it returns to the trigger).
3. CSS adds cursor: text and user-select: text to the open tooltip so
   users have a visual cue that text is selectable.

/repo-assist this still didn't quite work for me. The tooltip is too far from my cursor on the script.

In example, my cursor was on printf and moving towards the tooltip made it disappear.

…tooltip

Previously, the 20px offset between cursor and tooltip created a dead zone.
When the mouse left the trigger into this gap, the tooltip hid immediately
because relatedTarget was not the tooltip element. A short delay gives the
mouse time to reach the tooltip before hiding fires.
