@fleming79 , the fix works for me, thanks. the table below summarizes the behavior with and without the fix for the text, dropdown, checkbox and button widgets. (note line 3, the behavior was inconsistent across widgets previously. if someone expects nothing to be displayed, with the fix they would have to set the tooltip to an empty string)
