1816207 - anchor tooltip stays when parent of anchor is removed from document

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[snek]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/109.0

Steps to reproduce:

When a focused anchor is removed from the document, the tooltip (displayed in the lower lefthand corner of the browser) should be removed. If you remove the anchor by removing its parent, instead of directly removing the anchor, the tooltip remains.

<div id=div>
  <a id=anchor href="https://mozilla.org">hello</a>
</div>
<script>
  anchor.focus();
  setTimeout(() => {
    div.remove();
  }, 1000);
</script>

Actual results:

Tooltip stays!

Expected results:

Tooltip goes away.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Core & HTML' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Tooltips are managed in docshell/base/nsDocShellTreeOwner.cpp.
