I've recently started having trouble with tooltips displayed by
applications under Enlightenment. Where a tooltip would normally pop
up after hovering the cursor over an element for a second or so, it
instead pops up and immediately disappears. The tooltip lasts only a
fraction of a second, too quick to read more than a word or two of the
tip's text.

I've also noticed this happens mostly in applications that use their
own mouse cursors (but not all). When the tooltip first appears, the
application's cursor is replaced by Enlightenment's cursor, at which
point the tooltip disappears and the cursor reverts to the
application's own one. Examples of where this happens: Brave browser,
GTK applications, KDE applications. Curiously, it does NOT occur in
Firefox, even though that uses its own cursors, too. The tooltips in
Gmail (displayed in Brave) are also unaffected, probably because Gmail
is using its own version of tooltips instead of what everyone else is.
Maybe Firefox is, too, as those tooltips do not have the same border
as the "system" ones.

This seems to be a recent development... I'm using the latest git
versions of EFL and enlightenment available from AUR. Is there a fix
for this? I didn't realise how much i rely on some tooltips until i
couldn't read them!

Thanks,
-Conrad.
