Can't take screenshot of tooltip on Linux

[flleeppyy]

Type: Bug

This is similar to #53148. Trying to take a screenshot while hovering over something that shows a tooltip, it will disappear when you try to screenshot. This is extremely annoying for when I'm trying to screenshot errors.

1. Hover over a piece of code that has a tooltip
2. Try to take a screenshot, tooltip disappears.

I've disabled all my extensions and the problem still persists.

There is probably nothing we can do about this. If you can set up to take a screenshot on a delay, that often helps. What type of tooltip is this? There are a few different things that show up in different places.

Happy Coding!

Coming back to this, this is vscodes fault, as it seems that hitting any letter or hitting print screen, will hide the popup before screenshot software gets a chance to capture it.

What type of tooltip is this?

It's the tooltip that shows up when hovering over code, like a variable or an error.
