When I'm using a tooltip in a modal, I noticed that the text does not show when I click on the tooltip icon as shown below:

Tooltip shows up fine though when it's not in a modal. I'm thinking that it's possibly a z-index issue.

Is this issue related to a specific component?

can you create a reduced test case in Code Sandbox for easier testing and debugging?

Hi. I created a similar scenario here with a sandbox: https://3he8m.csb.app/
Try clicking on the tooltip. The text does not show. Let me know if you need anymore information.

when I move your code sandbox example into storybook the issue does not appear, so I think this definitely is a z-index issue although I am still looking into why the example appears different in the storybook vs code sandbox environment. (but a quick temporary workaround in the meantime would be to increase the z-index value of the tooltip)

Hi. Yea that's what I'm doing for now as a temporary workaround.

Tested running this in our local storybook and also working as expected. Not sure why CodeSandbox is having a problem, but going to close this as resolved.

Hi. It's not only CodeSandbox that is having this problem. Our app that uses this component also has this issue. Can we reopen this issue?

We have a workaround for now (increasing the z-index value) for the tooltip but would like a permanent solution.
