If the menu is exited (by either of 2 currently existing ways) before you completely let go of a hint-triggering button, the hint will keep scrolling by itself forever in both "play" and "menu" modes (the area it takes over remains "playable" tho). Re-triggering any hint by pressing any button in the menu returns things to normal.
