Refresh OSX to get rid of stuck info tag Every now and then I get an info tag stuck on my screen on top of all my applications. The only thing I know that will remove it is restarting my computer. Is there an easier way to refresh OSX that would get rid it?



I'm running the latest OSX Mavericks. I tried creating a new desktop deleting the main desktop. The problem persists unto the new desktop.

The tag does go away temporarily when I slide over to the dashboard and when I show the desktop but comes right back when I return to my applications.
Turns out this is a common problem.

One of the following should get rid of the tooltip:  


Hover over another element with a tooltip in the same app that generated the stuck tooltip, as explained here
Close the app which you think generated the tooltip
Log out of OSX and log back in
