The 'title' attribute is currently used to ensure that if you copy/paste message contents, you get the original emoji in those text message contents. It has the side effects of also popping a tooltip when you hover. For now we'll add a task to disable the tooltip.

(Sorry, I.definitely didn't mean to file it twice. Not sure how that happened.)

Do I need to do something for this task?

Assigning myself to keep this open. Thanks!

Still a valid request. When you see emoji's like 🍰🍹🎉🎈in a message and hover over them there is no tooltip with an explanation of the meaning of the individual emoji. That is annoying.

This would still be pretty great, especially for message reactions. If you don't recognize an emoji react, you have no way to figure out what it is since you can't copy and paste reactions. This is also an accessibility issue.

I am using the flatpak v7.8.0 and I have this problem as well. Looking forward to the fix since I don't know what a lot of these emojis actually mean.
