# Smart Tip icon delays or persists after the panel closes

## Issue

The Smart Tip icon appears on a side panel after a delay when the page loads, and briefly stays visible on the underlying application (where it should not appear) after the panel is closed.

## Cause

When the side panel opens or closes, the underlying application's DOM structure triggers Smart Tips to revalidate their position. The default mutation check interval slows down this revalidation, causing a delay while showing or hiding the Smart Tip.

## Suggested Solution

Set the **Mutation Throttle Interval for Smart Context (ms)** to 100ms. This makes Smart Tips appear and disappear almost instantly. To know more, see [Set Mutation Throttle Interval](/studio/docs/mutation-throttle-interval-ms).
