A tooltip reading 'Start' appears when I have no tooltip configured and when my pointer is not over the button #2531
Description
Describe the bug
A tooltip reading 'Start' appears when I have no tooltip configured and when my pointer is not over the OpenShell button. Or at least I take it that I have no tooltip configured: the small blank area below is for entering text, yes?
Area of issue
Taskbar
To reproduce
Unknown. But I think I saw the behaviour at boot, and/or when I minimised all windows.
Expected behavior
Given that I have no tooltip configured, I expect to see no tooltip when I hover over the start button. Even if I had a tooltip configured, I expect to see the tip only when the pointer is in the relevant place.
Open-Shell version
4.4.200
Windows version
Windows 11 Pro 25H2
Additional context
The problem began recently, after I installed a Windows update - and rebooted a few times. I have now disabled 'Replace start button' in the hope that this will solve the problem.
Thank you for your software.

Oh, and having disabled 'replace start button', I see this:
But I suppose that the explanation is that I have handed back control of the tooltip to Windows. Still, the tooltip showed only when I hovered over the button.
