Stepping back slightly, the concern I've raised previously with regard
to the modena tooltip is its positioning under the mouse. I think the
first thing that should be discussed is whether we can relocate that
popup such that it is slightly shifted downwards and to the right so
that it doesn't appear directly under the mouse pointer. I think with
this resolved the other issues no longer matter - is this correct?

Sorry to insist but the question has not been answered yet.
Does someone know how to see if a mouse is hover a tooltip? Or if there is
a specific component beneath the mouse and under the tooltip?
Cheers,

The problem gets worse because tooltip is not a node (why?) so you cannot
easily know if the mouse is hover a tooltip or not.

A somewhat related inconvenience I have with tooltips is that if you put
a tooltip on a button, then hover the mouse so that the tooltip shows up,
you can't click to activate the button unless you move the mouse pixel to
left or top because the resultant click will go to the tooltip and not to
the button. It's especially strange on Modena, because there the tooltip
has a rounded corner, so you visibly aren't clicking on the tooltip, though
you are clicking in the tooltip's rectangular bounds.
Some examples of how other apps handle tooltips:
In NetBeans the tooltip shows up below the button rather than at the
mouse position - this has the advantage of not obscuring the thing which
the tooltip is providing information on.
Intellij Idea is similar, except that it's tooltip is a callout has with
a little triangular area which overlaps the thing the tooltip is for. If
you click in the overlapped area, the underlying node still takes the
expected action.
Microsoft apps like Outlook show tooltips below the things they are
providing info on (or above if there is not enough screen area below to
show the tooltip).

Subject: Tooltip is interfering with mouseEntered/mouseExited events
Hi,
I have a toolbar composed by a couple of buttons. The toolbar fades away
when the mouse exits. The problem is that I have tooltips set up with the
toolbar and sometimes they appear under the mouse which triggers a
mouseExit event that makes the toolbar fade-away.
My point is maybe the tooltips should be viewed by the API as a component
that is part of the other component which they are set upon.
In this situation I'm getting random mouse exits depending when whether
the tooltip appears below the mouse or not.
Cheers,
