Badge Tooltips not working anymore

[mawinter69]

Jenkins and plugins versions report

Environment

Jenkins 2.539

What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

Doesn't matter

Reproduction steps

1. Make sure to have some plugins installed for which updates are available
2. Go to manage/pluginManager/ or manage. Hover over the badge that shows the number of updates.

Expected Results

The tooltip is shown

Actual Results

No tooltip is shown

Anything else?

This is still working 2.528.1
The problem is also visible in the sidepanel when enabling the new Manage Jenkins UI.
Strangely in the html source the spans have the tooltip attribute set and there is also an eventlister from tippy on the span. But the listener is not called.
Browser independent, it's not working in chrome and firefox .

Are you interested in contributing a fix?

hi @mawinter69 , I’m interested in working on a fix for this issue. I can reproduce the missing tooltip behavior on recent Jenkins versions, including in the Plugin Manager and the new Manage Jenkins UI. I’ll investigate this and work on a patch.
can this be assigned to me?

[mawinter69]

@MuKuL-DiXiT we don't generally assign issues to those who are not maintainers. It has not worked well in the past.

You're welcome to start working on this and open a pull request when you have a fix working locally.

Sure, I’ll start working on this. Thanks for the clarification, @mawinter69 .
