Tooltip - unable to control using *open* props

Tooltip - unable to control using open props

What package(s) are you using?

Same happens also for version 6.x:

• carbon-components
• [ x] carbon-components-react

Detailed description

Unable to control visibility state of the Tooltip (open/close), using already existing open prop. It could be easy observed using provided codesandbox.

What offering/product do you work on? Any pressing ship or release dates we should be aware of? We need this functionality in IBM SPSS Statistics. Tooltips are the last components we are trying to migrate from ap-components-react to Carbon.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Assign Tooltip open prop to state variable (e.g. showTooltip).
2. Change value of state variable (true->false, false->true)
3. Result: Tooltip doesn’t react on changes on open prop.

Expected: Tooltip will react on change for open prop

Please create a reduced test case in CodeSandbox https://codesandbox.io/embed/codesandbox-lo5ox

Issue exists on both carbon-components-react versions 6.x and 7.x. We are expecting a fix for version 6.x.

It’s a blocking issue for us.

A workaround may be force-remount technique.

since this fix actually requires a breaking change, it isn’t suited for backporting to previous versions
