Whatever we decide for this particular bug fix, I agree that we should reexamine whether tooltips should be transparent to mouse clicks by default. As for this bug fix, I wouldn't want to introduce a new public property, so that leaves either the currently proposed solution of saving / restoring the existing public property, or adding an internal property. If this new internal property could be somehow limited to Tooltip, that might be OK; otherwise it could be pretty intrusive. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/965
