Actual Results

The tooltip content "Use Quick Filters to view a subset of issues. Add more in the board configuration" that appears on hover and keyboard focus on "Quick Filters" text is not accessible for screen reader users. 

As a result, the information is not conveyed to screen reader users. 

Expected Results

The tooltip content should be available when the mentioned button receives focus.

Apply the following changes:

• Provide a button beside the text.
• Provide button role to the tooltip button using the <button> element or role=”button” and tabindex=”0” on the container of the button.
• Provide an accessible name as “More information about Quick filters“ to the button.

• Modify scripts to make the tooltip information available on hover as well as on focus. In addition along with mouse specific event handlers, use keyboard specific event handlers, such as "onfocus", "onblur"and so on to make the functionality accessible for keyboard-only users.

• Specify the ARIA role "tooltip" for the information displayed on hover. Specify an unique "id" attribute for the tooltip and reference it via the "aria-describedby" attribute of the mentioned button.
