Description

Describe the problem
Currently when using a React or selector ref for the Tooltip component, the tooltip contents does not get announced by assistive technologies. Only using the Tooltip component as a wrapper has the contents announced.

How do you reproduce the problem?

  1. Go to the Tooltip component
  2. Start Voice Over or another screen reader
  3. Navigate to the examples that use a React or selector Ref
  4. Notice that the tooltip contents may not get announced (tested using VO in Chrome)

Expected behavior
The tooltip contents gets announce when using the React or selector ref variants

Is this issue blocking you?
An alternative is using the Tooltip component as laid out in the "basic" example in the above link (using the Tooltip component as a wrapper).
