Page tooltip not working anymore

[ErikBI]

Hello!

Previously I have used a "report page tooltip" to show instructions or other forms of text when a user hovers over a button. However this doesn't seem to be working anymore.

The way it works is that I have a "?" button, with a blank card visual on top of it. (because the button itself does not support page tooltips, and a card visual does).  

On the blank card visual I enable the report page tooltip and refer to my tooltip page.

On this tooltip page I have "Allow use as tooltip" enabled 

Main page                                         

       

 Tooltip page

  

I have an older dashboard where I used this trick and it worked perfectly, but now when I do the exact same thing it's not showing the tooltip. Maybe it's a bug with the newer version of PowerBI?

Anyone knows what might be casing this?

Sincerely,

Erik

@ErikBI Will see if I can test this. In the mean time, make sure that you set your ? button to the background. Format and then Send backward, Send to back.

Aaaahh I found the issue!

The tooltip only shows when you hover over a value. So instead of a the card containing "", it should contain "                             ". (string with bunch of spaces). 

That way when you hover over the blank area, you are hovering over the string of spaces, and only then will it show the tooltip!
