Sounds precisely like this situation:

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/1407

As indicated there, in the meantime you can disable tooltips by
starting your qtconsole with:

--IPythonWidget.enable_calltips=False

and you can set that value permanently in your qtconsole config file with:

c = get_config()
c.IPythonWidget.enable_calltips=False

As best we can tell it's not a bug precisely in ipython itself, but
rather *triggered* by ipython.  Obviously, it would be great to
understand better what exactly activates it.

Cheers,
