Description Eduardo Silva 2017-09-16 21:03:48 UTC 
I have an external monitor set up to the left of the laptop.
When epiphany is shown in the laptop's screen, the location bar doesn't show any "tooltips" when typing something (like the option to Search the web, bookmarks and history). If however I move epiphany to the left (external) monitor, it starts showing them. 

Only once epiphany's window is fully in the main (right) screen, does it stop showing the tooltips.

Running under wayland.
epiphany 3.24.3
gnome 3.24.2
Fedora 26

Once I unplug the external monitor, tooltips on main screen are shown.

It's a gtk+ issue for entries with completion: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774065
