Tooltip misalignment when scrolling

[hemae]

Bug description
When using tooltips inside scrollable containers (specifically the window), the tooltip appears correctly next to the target element in the initial scroll state (see Screenshot 1). However, after scrolling the parent element (window), the tooltip appears misaligned—either above or below the target element (see Screenshot 2).

Version of Package
v5.28.0

To Reproduce

• Add a tooltip to an element inside a scrollable window.
• Observe correct tooltip positioning before any scrolling (Screenshot 1).
• Scroll the page.
• Observe the tooltip’s incorrect positioning after scrolling (Screenshot 2).

Expected behavior
The tooltip should remain aligned with the target element regardless of the scroll position.

Have you tried moving the tooltip component inside the scrollable parent? That usually fixes the issue, but depending on your project's structure, it might not be viable for you to do.

Let me know, and I'll try to suggest some other approach.

Any updates here I am facing same issue with Android devices

@AdamDia as suggested above, you should try placing the <Tooltip /> component anywhere inside of the scrollable parent.

If that does not help, we would need a reproducible example to be able to help further.
