Here is another similar post that I read recently where a work around was offered:  
[https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/disable-tooltips-in-designer](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/disable-tooltips-in-designer/85098/14)

When the designer tooltips get annoying, they can be turned off using the script console, or the delay can be increased to retain the functionality while reducing the frequency of unwanted popups:

```auto
from javax.swing import ToolTipManager

# arbitrarilyHighNumber = 10000
# ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().initialDelay = arbitrarilyHighNumber  

# ...or disable the tooltips completely
ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().enabled = False

```
