tooltip+popover destroy method does not remove the element from the DOM

[fadomire]

i searched for an already opened issue but did not found any that was reporting this exact problem.

I'm trying to use the destroy method on tooltip (bootstrap v3) but it does not remove the element from the DOM.

Any idea ?

Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/52VtD/59/

click on the button to trigger the tooltip destroy method

It's confirmed on FF 24.

Also applies to popovers since they're an extension of tooltips.

The pull request from @jooleeunc should solve this issue, but until it's accepted I needed a workaround. Here it is:

// Fix for bootstrap tooltips, sometimes they are left in the DOM when they shouldn't be.
$('body').on('hidden.bs.tooltip', function() {
    var tooltips = $('.tooltip').not('.in');
    if (tooltips) {
        tooltips.remove();
    }
});

@onigetoc You do have a choice. The bug has been fixed in master. I really don't understand the point of your comment.

Bug is active in 3.1.1.

@sirNemanjapro Please open a new issue that includes a JS Fiddle (or similar) demonstrating that the problem still exists.

@cvrebert I have opened a new issue, but I dont really have an example for you at this point. The problem is active, I changed all the files that could influence the tooltip not to be removed but it still didnt help.

I have this example where the tooltip seems not to be destroyed: http://jsfiddle.net/e6247y9c/

What do I have to do to fix this?

//EDIT: probably I found a solution, could it be? http://jsfiddle.net/e6247y9c/2/
