The answer has at least 3 points.
On a new Calc, (with AutoInput set to ON):
A.1. Click on the input box (formula bar) (or on the "=" symbol on the formula
bar).
A.2. Start typing-in the function "=SUM". You should see a tooltip suggesting
possible functions, located near the *input box*.
A.3. Add the opening parenthesis, "=SUM(". The tooltip suggests arguments.
A.4. Press [ESC] twice (as we don't need to go further here).
Now click on some cell (in order to focus on it) that is more centered on the
screen; cell E10 for instance.
B.1. Press F2 (or double click on the same cell E10), or directly start by
typing-in the "=" symbol, in order to enter into cell's edit mode (and to
introduce a formula).
B.2. Start typing-in the function "=SUM". You should see a tooltip suggesting
possible functions, located near the *cell*.
B.3. Add the opening parenthesis, "=SUM(". The tooltip suggests arguments.
B.4. Press [ESC] twice (as we don't need to go further here).
Now go to menu Tools > AutoInput to set it to OFF. Then repeat the steps above
(A and B); the tooltip should not be displayed this time.
So, again, the precise location of newly-suggested tooltips (or any other
artifact) is relevant, and whether it is displayed should be configurable.
Let's not forget that we (can) have other artifacts near or around each cell
(comments/notes; formula indicator and hints; tooltips; trace arrows…) and
editing "in-cell" is already a problem for some users.

I agree; let's wait for some very relevant feedback/comments.
