Of cause. I thought it was a stacking issue.
I'm not sure how a minimized window or a partly obscured window can notice mouse
movement in that area. That's the main problem.
Though there will never be a fix for cases like this:
mouse is moved over sensitive area, timeout starts
area is obscured by another window
timout is reached, tooltip pops up although the pointer is now in the obscuring
window
This is a problem of the two worlds which can not be integrated smoothly.
