@erlangparasu Thanks for the feedback! I have some ideas on how to fix it

@LucasXu0 I’ve looked into some examples of tooltip behavior in sidebars. I noticed that some competitors position tooltips differently based on the button’s location. For example, displaying the tooltip above when the button is near the top, and displaying outside the side panel when the it's the first button from the right side.

Would it be possible to adjust its position based on the button’s location?
Also, can we make the tooltip only appear when hovering over the target? Now it will keep showing if my cursor is on the tooltip
