Tooltips/popovers shown on hover or focus must be dismissible, hoverable, and persistent.
How to meet it
Let users dismiss with Esc, move the pointer onto the content, and keep it visible.
How AccessScan checks this
This criterion needs a rendered page or human judgement (for example colour contrast, focus visibility, or media review), so it’s part of manual testing and our upcoming deep scan rather than the free static scan.
