The icon is placed within an md-list\r\n\r\ncode...\r\n\r\n```\r\n                <md-icon md-svg-icon=\"communication:ic_comment_24px\">\r\n                    <md-tooltip md-autohide=\"true\">\r\n                        17 Comments\r\n                    </md-tooltip>\r\n                </md-icon>\r\n```\r\n\r\nHowever, the tooltip is not displayed. If I embed the icon in a div and put the tooltip on the div it does work but  as it is now a div, the md-list layout breaks.\r\n\r\nAny reason why a tooltip cannot be used within an icon?\r\n"}}
