Tooltip Showing Metadata for Target - Sitefinity - Bugs & Issues

In my main navigation when someone mouses over the nav link the tooltip shows the metadata associated with that page - for pages that don't have any it doesn't show anything, which is most of the time, but for my pages that are Search Engine Optimized I have long ugly descriptions of each page.

Is there an easy way to turn this off or hide it without removing any metadata?

It has something to do with the Navigation widget putting the metadata in the links it generates, do I need to specify an external template to get it to generate the links without all the metadata?

See this thread on how to turn it off:

I tried that, I put it in my base template and it's still showing up, was there any other code I was meant to put in for it to work? I'm using Sitefinity 5.

I ended up solving the problem by using

$("document").ready(function()

$(".rsmItem a").attr("title", "");

);

The problem was that Sitefinity was not updating the page late enough, the script would run but not update anything that loaded after the script ran. I hope that if someone else has a similar problem this helps them out as well.
