This also affects accessibility, as these buttons are unlabelled for accessibility clients. Note that depending on how the tooltip is set, a11y may or may not get the label for free. For example, if the tooltip is generated dynamically, a11y won't get the label and an additional aria-label attribute will need to be used. So, when fixing this, please verify the "name" of the button with the Accessibility Inspector.

This bug has been fixed at some point in the past 2 years, tooltips now show on hover and could be marked as resolved.
