clicking on data tips option breaks WindowButtonDown callback

I'm defining a callback for clicks like this:

app.UIFigure.WindowButtonDownFcn = @(src, ~) disp("asda");

initially, it works just fine. Inside UIFigure i have an axes with some points scattered on it, when i click on the data tip option in the axes toolbar, then the next click does not trigger the callback. Any ideas on why is this happening or how could i debug this?

This is expected. Data tips rely upon WindowButtonDownFcn and there can only be one WindowButtonDownFcn active at a time on any component.

You could potentially customize the datatip response to execute your code as well.

You could potentially listener or addlistener to respond to events.
