i’ve discovered that, using the locker plugin and the tooltip plugin, if you attempt to update locked text that has a tooltip, the tooltip stops functioning. oddly, the mouse continues to change to the hand, implying that the tooltip should be there even though it doesn’t show up.

here is a generator i made to showcase the conflict: https://perchance.org/locker-tooltip-conflict-example#edit

are the developers of these plugins active here? it would be really lovely if this conflict could be fixed somehow :0 thank you all in advance for reading and helping!

    Here is what I’m actually suggesting. https://perchance.org/roabyow92m

    You have separated the tooltip from being locked. Instead, you have an instance of a tooltip that is outside of the locker. Then, you have the locked store the locked value in a variable. Then use that variable to toggle what tooltip is to be shown on the tooltip instance.
    OR
    You only have one list, then have the tooltip text as a property of the item that you select (so that the value is specific to that item).
    OR
    You have a ‘template’ tooltip text, then only change the part in which would say the stored value.

    Since I don’t know how you’ve coded your lists, I can only blindly suggest how you could rewrite them. But I’ve added there some examples of how you could re-write it.
