[Table] Row action tooltips should not be clickable

[gillibrand]

What package is this for?

• React

Summary

Row action buttons use a Carbon tooltip (black bubble). The problem is that the bubble it clickable, which clicks the button. It's too easy to inadvertently trigger and click the tooltip, performing the action unintentionally. Additionally, the Overflow button uses a native tootlip ("title"), so the buttons on a table row are inconsistent. Ideally, they will all use a native tooltip to be less intrusive.

There is similar work going on in Graphite to prefer native tooltips in some places: https://jsw.ibm.com/browse/GRAPHITE-60523.

What resources do you have to assist this effort?

I, Jay, did start investigating this. The problem is, there doesn't seem to be a way to disable the Carbon tooltip on the button components used for row actions. Even passing null or empty string will show an empty black bubble still. Passing a "title" attribute does work as expected though. Possibly the empty tooltip can be hidden with CSS. I'm not sure how feasible it is to change this in Carbon since PAL is not on the latest Carbon release anyway. Due to other obligations I can't spend more time on this for a while.
