I'm not sure what you mean. Can you create a Plunker and describe the steps to reproduce this issue?

Try to move from 1 to 2, so that 1has not yet appeared... It's not easy to reproduce...

@VitalyVoroshilov , @chrisirhc any update on this? I experience this one frequently -- steps to replicate are extremely, extremely hard to pin down.

+1

[cgallarno]

+1 for this too

[tomauty]

Pretty sure this is IE10 only

[charwking]

I've been able to reproduce this in Chrome and Firefox. After some digging, I'm fairly sure this change, available in v0.13.0 has resolved the issue.

I cannot reproduce this, as shown in this Plunker based off of current master.

Closing as resolved - if this is still an issue, feel free to comment here or create a new ticket.

I am still getting a similar error with a fairly new version (0.13.4)

Stacktrace:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'isOpen' of null
    hide @ ui-bootstrap-tpls.js:3496
    TooltipBind @ ui-bootstrap-tpls.js:3454

Given the local variable name for null is ttScope and the tooltip directive creates its own scope with that property, I am fairly certain this error is caused by an asynchronous piece of tooltip code trying to access a scope that angular has already destroyed (which is somewhat hard to reproduce).

I will update to .14.3 and see if the error still happens (thought it only happens randomly once or twice a day during development).

@tsclaus, please also try against a build from master so we can try to narrow this down to either a user issue or possibly a release-specific issue. If it still happens in your code, please open a new issue following these instructions. New comments on closed (and really old) issues is a good way for them to get lost. Thanks.

This still occurrs in v2.1.3. The problem is that the if (!tooltip) check is outside of the $timeout() code. It needs to be moved into the $timeout code to ensure this error doesn't occur
