Ok so here's the technical explanation for what the cause WAS:
To avoid the appearance of the tooltip "flashing" into existence, I changed the tooltip.hide() code to set the window alpha to 0, instead of is-visible to false. This means the tooltips always exist (after first show) which results in much speedier show/hide times. Unfortunately however it seems byond still captures the clicks in windows that overlay the map regardless of alpha level.
The fix for this, which I pushed last week or so, was:
The tooltip.hide() code now moves the tooltip to 0,0 (top left) and resizes it to 1x1. This should (and did, in my tests) remove any "invisible" tooltip from overlaying the map area.
Now here's the rub: This fix worked! I tested it myself and I'm pretty sure others confirmed the fix too. I have absolutely no idea why you lot are continuing to experience the buggy behaviour from 2 weeks ago. My only hunch is a cache issue but 2 weeks would be a very long cache expiration period. To rule this out, can I get everyone here to do the following:
If the issue still occurs after this, please please try and isolate any potential causes as I can't fix what I can't reproduce!

To rule this out, can I get everyone here to do the following:
- Close byond
- Clear your byond cache (~/Documents/BYOND/cache, just delete everything in there)
- Clear your Internet Explorer cache (just google it if you don't know how)
- Make sure you join a ss13 round that you haven't been in before (as in, new player)
