Is this a regression?

  • Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

The previous version in which this bug was not present was

v20

Description

We detected a weird issue with tooltips regarding the popover introduced in v21.
When I put a tooltip on a mat-select, hover over the mat-select, the tooltip is shown. Then I open the mat select and move out my mouse from the browser and bring the mouse back to the browser, the tooltip is shown no matter where i am hovering on with my mouse.
Usually, it is solved after the mat select is closed and opened, then i cannot repro anymore.
But reloading the page and doing it the first time is usually a good repro for the issue.

I'm not sure if I could explain the repro correctly, so here is a short gif:

I scrolled through issues that can be related to my issue, and found this one: #32642
Turning off the new popover with
{ provide: OVERLAY_DEFAULT_CONFIG, useValue: { usePopover: false } }, solves the issue.
I cannot reproduce it anymore with usePopover: false.

Reproduction
