Various tags pop-up, seemingly at random, when I'm editing an SSIS package. They often stay there for quite a while always at the front of the screen as I move the VS window around. If I select another app, they disappear.
In the case of this screenshot, I'd only just opened the package and the mouse cursor was nowhere near any script task. Another pop-up that seems to persist is Dataflow components. Sometimes I'll have a collection of them floating around on various parts of my screen.
I've only noticed this over the past month or so which suggests it has something to do with an update.
My laptop is using Windows 10 and the current version of the SSIS extension is 4.3.

HI @Nick Ryan,
The VS2019 SSIS extension v.4.3 is an experimental version.
I would suggest updating it up to v.4.4 which is a latest GA version.
Hi @Nick Ryan,
Please try to update the SSIS to v4.4 via extension in VS and repair VS to see if it is helpful.
If the issue still occurs, please report the issue to product team from VS as shown below.
Regards，
Zoe Hui

Thanks for that additional information. I didn't know about that option to report a problem.
One question I have is that the update option in VS mentioned 4.4.2. When I updated, it installed 4.4. I still have a prompt that a later version is available. How would I get the latest version?
You safely ignore that prompt. Here is an excerpt from the download page.
Known issue: Due to a limitation of VS marketplace, the version 4.4.2 does not introduce new binaries to download. Version 4.4 contains the latest binaries.

Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem in VS2022 v17.6.1
What is the version of the SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension for VS2022 you are using?

Same here.
I suspect it's something to do with themes.
I installed and loaded a SSIS solution in another PC (having roaming VS settings active) and exacly the same situation came up on the other machine.
I found this odd, because this error seems to be very uncommon, and thus I suspected it was something to do with my machine/instalation.
It's only a gut feeling, but either way, opted to share my experience (even if the issue persists)
