https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon/issues/3616 contains the request. It was added to Carbon React in https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon/pull/5323.
Can this feature be added to the Vanilla package so non-React users can have the same UX.
the PR you referenced (#5323) adds the feature to vanilla. is there an issue with the implementation?
@emyarod , Is there a place I can verify this? I tested on the site and it didn't work and th vanilla.carbondesignsystem.com site was returning a 403.
yeah our vanilla netlify previews were disabled recently, but here is a code sandbox I made with the latest vanilla version: https://codesandbox.io/s/naughty-engelbart-0pdog @elizabethsjudd
I still can't seem to hover over the tooltip well. (I can' kind of hover over the caret but that's such a small target).

my mistake, there was a bug with how I instantiated the components in my sandbox, the demo should be correct now

@emyarod which browser are you using? I've cleared cache and still can not replicate the behavior you're demoing. I'm using Chrome v80.0.3987.132
@elizabethsjudd the previous recording was on Windows 10 (either Firefox 75 or Chrome 80), here is the Code Sandbox on Chrome 80 on macOS (same behavior in local dev env as well for both Firefox and Chrome)

@emyarod I'm still not having any luck replicating this. Can you hit me up on slack (@liz.byrne) so we could do a quick screen share or something.
FWIW I'm also able to select the text using @emyarod's CodeSandbox link
closing as resolved after discussing with @elizabethsjudd earlier!
