Impossible to click help article link in Skin File information tool-tip

    • Icon: Bug Bug

      In the "Skins" menu, there's a tooltip you can view by hovering on a "?" that contains a link to a Minecraft help article about skins. However, it's not possible to click this link in the tooltip as the tooltip disappears when you move your mouse cursor off the "?" icon.

      If you lose window focus off the launcher, such as by Alt+Tabbing out while hovering over the "?" icon, it's still not possible to click on the hyperlink as the tooltip instantly disappears when clicking back into focus.

      Also note: Pressing middle click while hovering over the "?" icon also brings up a "how do you want to open this file?" windows prompt, asking how I want to open a "mojang link" file type. (see Middle clicking questionmark.png)

      What I expected to happen

      I expected the tooltip would remain visible as long as my mouse cursor remained hovered on it or the "?" icon, allowing me to click the link and view the help article.

      What actually happened

      The tooltip disappeared immediately after moving my cursor off the "?" icon and onto the tooltip.

      Steps to reproduce

      1. From the launcher, select the Java Edition tab, then click "Skins" at the top.
      2. Select a skin and click edit or start creating a new one.
      3. Position your mouse cursor over the circled white question mark icon next to "Skin File" and attempt to click the link in the white tooltip that appears.
