Synopsis: Tooltip not updated when value changes

Description

If you are over a string value (possibly any kind of other value) in the debugger grid, the tooltip appears and show the value. When performing a step, if the value change, the tooltip still shows the previous value not the new value.

To Reproduce

s := "TOTO"
s := "TITI"

Put a breakpoint after the first instruction, show the tooltip, then do F10, the tooltip still shows TOTO instead of showing TITI.

There is a way to remove the tooltip I believe and we should possibly provide that in vision2 and the debugger code could call this routine at each step to force an update.

I think this is more a Vision2 issue than a debugger's issue.
There is no way to tell the tooltip to update or to be closed.

And the underlying grid item is not the same anyway.
If you move the mouse pointer, and go back to show the same's grid item's tooltip
you will have the new value.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is a normal GUI behavior.

Changed to vision2 category.
