Hello,
not having any strong opinion on the desired behavior or needed API,
here are a few comments to the current state:
* Tooltip is a Window, so you should be able to call tooltip.getScene()
or tooltip.getScene().getRoot() and watch for mouse events/hover state there
* Tooltip is a Window so a click-through tooltip is not possible right
now. We can talk about hooking its handlers to the owner control
handlers somehow.
* If you move the mouse to a tooltip, the owner control gets MouseExited
event and hides the popup (which will be the case unless we introduce a
"mouse transparent window"). So there doesn't seem to be much point in
handling mouse events on the tooltip. The reason why the tooltip is not
hidden immediately after it pops under the mouse is that there is a
weird piece of code there that ignores MouseExited events with the same
coordinates as the previous mouse event had. This looks like a
workaround, and a wrong one, because the control can move out from a
not-moving cursor. I'm going to file a bug against that.

Yes this problems would be solved.
But I think API wise, there should be a way to check whether the mouse is
inside a particular tooltip. Also I think it is not possible sometimes to
get the node that "owns" the tooltip, I think there should be a way to get
it too.
Cheers,
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?
