Synopsis: Tooltip for error in Error List window disappears in some cases
Description
In some cases, the tooltip that is displayed when I move the mouse over an error in the Error List window disappears immediately after it is displayed. This annoying behavior seems to be dependent on the position of the window on the screen. If I move the estudio window so that its bottom edge is near the bottom of the screen, then the tooltip is displayed above the error when I move the mouse over an error and in this case, the tooltip does not disappear. But if I move the estudio window so that its top edge is near the top of the screen, the tooltip disappears immediately after it is displayed. Actually, I think it is more complicated than this. It may also depend on the height of the main estudio window and the height of the Error List tool. But there are some configurations where the tooltip always disappears. I have attached a screenshot of a configuration where the tooltip disappears, which may help in reproducing or tracking down the problem. This is a really annoying problem. I hope it can be fixed for 6.6 final release.
